I put the files into branches/daly so that I could make the development that I'd been doing "public". There is still more work to be done in terms of bug fixing and cleanup before it becomes ready to be a complete candidate for a new release. "branches/daly" was the first version that passed all of my local testing but there is still work to be done. I tried to do the merge the other SVN branches with gold and failed. I then tried to pick up all the changes that I understood and merged those changes. This must be done by hand because the branch changesets also involve changes to the Makefiles and the branch Makefile structures don't exist in Gold. > ...

It seemed to me that putting the files into "trunk" would have undercut the ability of Gaby and Waldek to do a merge, thus leaving them no path to get back to Gold. The hope is that they will spend some time to "lift" complete changesets from their branches against Gold so they can be applied outside their branches. Each branch is basically a publicly-available private sandbox. Private sandboxes are the best way to explore an idea (I have dozens) but it is really up to the individual to make those experiments fit into the released version.
