I came a little after you left, so did Fred. What was discussed after that point was the following:
* Also saw Marco's tools that he and his team are using to develop games... VERY VERY VERY impressive. * Also saw his GWorkspace changes, he has renamed GWorkspace to Workspace and we should consider some of his changes * I don't know if he was using GCC to build his stuff or clang. * We also discussed documentation. Is retiring autogsdoc something we may want to consider? * Retiring autogsdoc would have the following advantages * We would not have to maintain something that is outside of the responsibility of the project, a documentation generator can be left to another project to do and there are ones that do it better. * It would allow us to leverage the work done by others on projects that are dedicated to doing this. * We could keep the output of the HTML as fancy or as simple as we wish * It would also have the following disadvantages: * We might need to redo some of the commits in the code so that it can be properly parsed. * I also spoke to Fred about the changes I am making for view-based tables. I believe most of the other things we discussed were the same as what you mentioned in your email. Amazingly I think we continued for about 5 hours more after I arrived. I apologize for arriving late.
