From the positive point of view, Mathias & people around ACP are working
hard on
pushing Thing to GPL-ed open source license (and they've achieved quite a
success
since then), so after then, everyone can take a look who did what.
I wasn't sure how official this is, so I didn't want to mention it. But this
is another reason for not looking into this issue yet. It's much easier when
the sources are available. And the problem isn't even there with the latest
version of Thing.
By the way guys, don't you have a feeling we _really_ miss some working /
usable / actively managed tool for project
monitoring? I mean reporting bugs, adding feature requests, uploading
screenshots, test builds, those binary (and maybe
untested) stuff, patches, code snips.... I don't know about you but I'm
totally lost in this huge amount of mails
where "everyone" is posting some patches, builds, screenshots, RSC data,
TBL data, sources, test applications, ... I think Alan is
here as the last remaining active maintainer with CVS access and we can
only pray he was able to track everything. I've got
Same here. We're using a tool called FogBugz at work. It would be well
suited for such a project, but unfortunely it's commercial software. It even
integrates with subversion and cvs, which makes it easy to track the actual
check-ins related to a bug report. IIRC Mantis bugtracker has most of these
features, so perhaps we should utilize the existing bugtracker? It doesn't
seem to be used much.
