Everyone who wants to help is free to do so but I don't think it should be part of an official release. There was a legal and moral battle for IVAO to come into existence from the original IVAO which came from SATCO which was taken over by VATSIM. Using closed source programs keeps control in the hands of the owners. Flightgear should concentrate on making the tools and letting people use them as they see fit. This ensures the organizations that do right by their members continue while the ones who do not are not holding their members hostage because they own the software. I have been a member of all the above mentioned organizations and the people running them put a lot time and effort into them which I commend them for because a lot of future Flightgear hobbyists will come from their ranks.
