Are there any critical fixes in MoreFiles 1.5.0? If not, I think we should
stay with 1.4.9 until CW supports compiling it w/o patches. Otherwise,
compilation instructions will get complicated.

I've contactes Apple DTS to clarify if we can redistribute DTS sample code
(e.g. MoreFiles) with Scribia. No answer yet, other than that the customer
service person is asking developers what the answer is. :-)

I tried to. Let me know if it works.

I've just set it to [Scribia-dev]. I can change it again, any suggestions?


Other news:

    € Geotzou let me know he'd like to help with Scribia

    € Pugwash has problems compiling the CVS tree, but he is not using
      CW5.3 yet - I asked him to update, and we'll see if that fixes things
      for him

    € Pugwash, Geotzou and me chatted in the lands tonight, and talked about
      some development ideas:

        € Geotzou would like to see graphs over time, e.g. ranks-over-time,
          kills-over-time, etc. I'm all for anything that make Scribia
          fun; I'd like to concentrate on essentials first though (i.e.
          implement all of Scribus' features)

        € I mentioned I'd like Scribia to be able to grok all log files
          since the ripture war, so while adding new things, we should make
          sure old logs are still understood. (I have all my logs since
          then, so at least for healers, we have something to test it
          against.)

        € We talked about adding eye candy to the GUI, such as
          trainer/item/monster graphics from CL, pending an okay from Joe to
          use them.

    € I have a copy of Apollo's Scribus sources; I cannot redistribute
      them (I could ask him though if there's interest) - so I can
      always check how "Scribus does things"

    € FYI: Fleming is working on "Mists of Time", an open source game going
      in the same direction as Clan Lord. It's hosted on sourceforge, too.
      ("Mists" is also the reason why my clan lord Fleming can't help with
      Scribia :-)
