No, absolutely not. Never, that would be a misinterpretation of my sentences.
In my opinion the only possibility to prevent the project from such things for
future ongoings is to split parts of fgdata, i.e. the aircraft directory into
hangers, adding a proper history file to each aircraft which needs to be kept
in directory when you fork (what's normal anyway I think?). Maybe this needs a
period of "hanger" subscription where people can show their interests in
binding/adding a hanger to the project and where current developers are asked
to found a own hanger. I would also like to see a "wreckyard" where new
developers can pick up some projects probably ;-) And maybe this needs an
active fg hanger project site (or hanger section on current sites) where you
get overview and can follow this change.
I would help to write down history of lets say 10-15 aircraft, contact former
and recent contributors, make a proposal for a readme and ask them where to put
their work and document this ongoings on a "official site". It's a
collaborative effort, it needs a plan, it needs a standard copyright and
license notice which needs to be kept. My assumption is that it will take 6
months or more, but it is doable.
I know 10 aircraft is not that much, but I would take responsability for this,
that it goes to the right hanger for a new start of aircraft directories for
fg, without loosing history, that this work is documented and former
contributors know where their work has gone in case they do not found a own
hanger.
But at the end it is a decision of the core team if they give support for such
a change or not, or if this remains a discussion of "who presents the most
clever git commands" ;-)
