Hi Gijs The problem is that a wiki is not a good place to discuss such things because some people consult this list more frequently than a wiki page. Anyway, when I read this wiki I fear such pages ends up sometimes as cemetery of good ideas which started here and moved over to nowhere ... The point "Organizing aircraft by logical units" is exactly what I proposed for hangers, even when my understanding of a "logical unit" is different. The only disadvantage seems to be that it is "difficult". The difficulty is probably that it needs some personal work out of git commands. I offer my time for such, that’s all. Maybe I miss the discussion completely, but the goal of the vague wiki plan is teaching git usage and keeping hands on everywhere. But splitting the aircraft directory into units is not a git and control problem for me. It’s a problem of having a plan for a project that becomes bigger and needs dealing with "plugs", different interests, super hero shows and silent development groups etc. etc., like many other projects out there. FG is getting more users and developers currently. Without offending anyone for this, the aircraft splitting discussion and effort at this wiki ended up with nothing this year. Or am I wrong? So all what I can offer is some low-level "administrative" help to reach the goal, whatever goal it is. I know that many (also core) developers are involved at the end for such a plan and I think this needs to be discussed here first. I.e. James wanted to setup a meta-data infrastructure, and I don’t know if this has become reality or not (again, I do not want to blame anyone for his plans in a volunteer project). I still vote for the hanger plan I proposed some months ago because the other plans didn’t succeed either. I’m a dumb pighead, I know. -Yves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
