I'm trying to take a neutral position here, so I'm not going to comment on who
is right and who's wrong, but instead would like to propose a possible solution
that might keep everybody happy in the intermediate to long term. Last year, we
have discussed several options to split fgdata, but decided to put these plans
on hold until the 2.6.0 release was finished, for very practical reasons. Once
we commence with these plans, it is very likely that we have a separate
fgaircraft repo, and the idea is that we would allow more contributers access
rights to this repository. In such a situation, one or more members of the PAF
group could gain access rights and commit their own contribution as a separate
version.
While I generally agree with Martin that I would rather encourage collaboration
rather then competition, I don't think it would be in the interest of the
project to see a group of motivated contributers being denied access due to a
personal dispute. A little bit of competition is not necessarily bad either,
because it motivates people to improve their own work. Healthy competition may
be beneficial specifically if the efforts are directed to different models, as
opposed to replicating an existing one. But if we can't avoid that, I'm not
sure why we should selectively block access to our repository either.
Finally, I would also like to point out that the PAF team could already clone
the fgrepository, merge their changes and file a merge request.
Cheers,
Durk
