Everyone is free to build a own "hangar" on gitorious, everyone is free to develop, exchange, merge in, push, to discuss and bring different aircrafts together in his own hangar. No hierarchical centralized system is needed with git and gitorious/github, you merge in or push whatever you want. People can clone, pull, merge, push, watch, organize, whatever they want. No one will ask. You collaborate or not, you build your own hangar, it is your choice, YOU set permissions, YOU give access, YOU share permissions or not. You give people links here and there to provide "your" aircrafts or aircrafts of "canadian group of most serious aircrafts" or whatelse. An educational hangar, a polar ice hangar, a chopper hangar, a historical hangar ... I really don’t know why most people here use gitorious and git like a hierarchical system of the romans with asking for permissions, sending merge requests to some development sub-kings, waiting for this and that. It is not necessary, just see the freedom, use git as it is probably thought, and open your own personal-number-one-hangar, show your work, and "git reset --hard" yourself when necessary ;-) And meantime fgdata core developers try to find consensus about 10 or 15 aircrafts remaining in basic fgdata (Arghh! Consensus!). That is what was requested here some months ago (hey, fgdata core developers, with all my respect, don’t fear to say which are the best aircrafts we have!, and please do not wait for Tim, I guess he will not do that job for you). Of course, this are my very very personal thoughts, please do not blame me for that, it is not necessary. I have to say we will introduce something new in the new FlightGear Launcher FGx the next months: You can choose a hangar and update your aircrafts by DIFFERENT hangars. Unfortunately we can’t do it with git directly, but I am sure we will find something like a "general hangar protocol" ;-) a xml file or something on top of every hangar with short aircraft description or whatever, which can be set up and provided by EVERYONE in the world with some space left on a server. The rest will be done by FGx and a built-in installer. Only restriction: all must be free and open source. And what a chaos you will say, everyone uses different aircrafts. But this is what some users want -> no kings and no 9 GB downloads.
