Hi all,

I'm not to familiar with the intricacies of how multiple people work on the same project & files, so sorry ahead of time.

It would appear that there are multiple pieces to the unix port of the core Folderol code:
1) Platform-independant Http access.
2) Platform-independant Threading.
3) Platform-independant Settings storage.

I know that Jonas Wolf has been working on a platform-independant Http class. At the moment it can get work requests from the folderol server and works on Win32 & Linux.

Someone needs to separate the core folderol code from the windows code E.G. splitting GAclass.cpp & GAclass.h so that GAGraphicGeneticAlgorithm is in a separate file from GAGeneticAlgorithm. What needs to exist is a core set of files that are common to all (using ifdefs if needed), then a bunch of unix support files, windows support files.

In the interests of preventing duplicate-work, it may be appropriate for people to take these different tasks and communicate what they're working on.

Malcolm.
