[Widelands-public] mailing list keeps ignoring my mails to build13 thread

[Peter S. <sea...@gm...>]

hopefully at least this email reaches the mailing list.

I wanted to post the following, but as far as I can see, it never 
recieved at the mailing list:

@ windows-builds: there are some guys compile SVNBuilds, so that
shouldn't be a problem.
And from statistics on our website I can say that you are wrong if you
say, that noone is interested in a windows-version of widelands. About
30-40% of our players are on Windows.

Well you _could_ say "yes", as Widelands should be at least as stable as
build12 was, but my idea behind a feature freeze in a month is based on
some thinks I would like to be implemented/fixed until final release.

On my "wish list" are two things:
1) The "little trees set with editor don't grow up in game" bug should
be fixed
2) The multiplayer savegame loader is still just a basic implementation.
It would be nice to at least have a system that automatically sends the
savegame from server to all clients, to make sure that all clients use
the same file. And a map sharing would be nice as well.

To be honest:
I hope that someone else will take care about these points, as I haven't
even start working on them and won't find enough time for Widelands
until 18th of October (still have to write some exams).
