Re: [Pythoncard-devel] [Pythoncard-users] Pythoncard and future developements

[<al...@se...>]

I'm traveling right now so I don't have time for a big reply, but I will
respond again this weekend.

I'm not in favor of forking the project. If someone is interested in
contributing they can simply be made a developer for the existing project.
We can migrate the project to svn from cvs while still utilizing the
services of SourceForge. Discussion of particular patch suggestions should
be done on the pythoncard-devel mailing list.

Thanks,

ka
