Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] synth support that's not made it into SVN!!

[Vladimir A. <vl...@gm...>]

I think what the project is missing is releasing binary builds from svn for download on regular basis.

That would allow more extensive testing of experimental code by people without programming skills required to build themselves, but who really could use the program in real world.

That probably also would encouraged potential contributers to release code at main project site.

These sites that you found are really examples of creepy forking of the project, which just is washing out developers resources.

I hope those people are still subscribed to this list and will pay attention at this discussion and maybe would turn back to contributing here.

Regards,
Vladimir
