It's really up to your discretion but the goal I originally had in mind was simple -- an image to help devs immediately start writing and debugging code without our involvement. The idea was inspired during GCI where the interest is brief, fleeting, and from high-school students. > Okay, great.

I think that just raises questions about what all those other modules are, and most are irrelevant to new devs. > In addition to default vi and gedit have already included editors: > xemacs and jEdit. Can we get emacs with X11 support instead of xemacs? Subtle, but they have different function sets. The .emacs config file at http://brlcad.org/wiki/Emacs would be great to have already in place too along with the cmake-mode. > I am thinking of including an environment like the Eclipse C/C++ IDE > or NetBeans. If you do include one, it might help to do the initial set up so it's got a project already pointing to our sources with build output going to the build dir. That said, I'd probably leave it out for a first cut. > What do you or other devs think, any suggestions, deletions, additions? So I keep going back on forth on the build directory. I think there's some value to have cmake already run with BRLCAD_BUILD_LIBS=ON and installed into /usr/brlcad, but then run make clean so the object files are gone. Other than that, nothing else comes to mind. Can't wait to try it out! Cheers!
