[Bibdesk-develop] Re: BibDesk anon CVS.

[Michael M. <mic...@ma...>]

You're welcome about the quick response. :) I'm fast at easy things.

I'll be especially interested in any changes you had to make to get it 
to compile. I want to be sure it's as easy as possible to work on - 
I've almost exclusively worked on it on one machine, so there's plenty 
of chance for problems.

I understand that the OmniFrameworks dependency makes it a pain at 
times, but it's totally worth it for the preferences framework alone.

So, I CC'd this email to bib...@li... - I 
don't know if anyone else is using it, but it'd be good to use that 
list to discuss development stuff, so if other people start working on 
it too, we'll be able to manage it.

When you do start working, if you could send a quick note (one sentence 
is fine, or even just 'working on feature request #nnn') so we don't 
duplicate effort? Thanks!
