totally true, and totally agreed that it's not the
best.

What will be the benefits for DirsSync to build it via
Boa instead of via vi (I'm vi user since more than 10
years) ?


Is it possible for developers to work on the same
source of code but using a different version of Boa ?

If he respect all the "Boa guide lines", Is it
possible for a developer who don't have (or don't want
to have) Boa to contribute to DirsSync.
