Re: [Qucs-devel] Software development

Hi Guiherme,

Thanks for pushing that branch, I'll have a read through it and look at 
the changes this weekend.

No appology needed at all. We're developers on this list and big 
refactors and updates like this rarely look clean in the middle! I 
really appreciate the cleanup and renaming of the branches as "stale/*", 
that's really helpful. Is qt5-6-merge-rc1 also a stale branch?

I'd be very happy to discuss, on the new issue or/and on a call, where 
someone without a long background in the project can usefully contribute 
to the Qt5 porting. QUCS is a great tool and I'd like to be helpful if 
possible.

It's already been done, but tasks such as moving the documentation from 
Octave to Python seem relatively independent from the core code changes. 
It'd be great if myself, André, Zack (posted to the list a while ago, a 
fellow researcher in the lab I'm in), and others can help with any 
remaining issues like that.

Thank you for all the energy and time you're putting into QUCS! That 
branch has to represent many hundreds of hours of work.

Cheers,

Derek
