Re: [Notion-devel] Making it easier to develop notion

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hi!

If you just want to build notion from source, not really contribute, you can 
use the 'source package' in the sf.net releases:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/notion/files/snapshots/

(this is linked to from the homepage).

It would still be interesting to make it easier for developers, too, of 
course, git submodules might be interesting to look into.


Kind regards,

Arnout
