Re: [Wxdevide-devs] Making this IDE an IDE for the majority

[Tony R. <tb...@gm...>]

I second Esteban's cautions.

The major push initially should be to get an extensible platform which
behaves just like the current wxDev-C++. I have no problems with keeping in
mind a ToDo wish list of new ideas, but I don't want to get bogged down for
months trying to implement everything in one shot. Instead, the primary
focus should be on just getting a mirror of the current features/behavior,
just done so as generically and modularly as possible.

I figure if we make something that is truly extensible, there will be many
C++ developers out there willing to help with their pet project wishes.
