Hi fellas!

Ok, please don't fork already. :) And note that this "please" goes to
BOTH of you. It means that I would want you guys to *co*-operate not
operate in isolation.

So:
- Let's keep it on one ml.
- Let's hope Ian takes better care of sucking up contributions from the
early adopters.
- ...AND/OR let's hope Ian makes it easy for early adopters to
contribute directly!

I would like to see a dedicated wiki.

I would also love to see Ian switching to Mercurial thus making it VERY
easy for people like Michael to both branch off and to contribute back -
or for Ian to receive contributions. A distributed SCM like Mercurial is
vastly superior to SVN in this regard and Mercurial is really, really
nice.

Ian - if you use SVN mainly from CLI - then Mercurial is IMHO a much
better drop in replacement. Sure, some commands are a bit different -
but you grok it in minutes.

Now, if Fonc is going to be run as a "closed shop project" - which I
really, really hope not - but which I also fear - then, well, then I
will reconsider and perhaps instead look at Michael to give me the
satisfaction of a living open source project. And then we can turn it
all around - we pull nice stuff from Ian instead of the other way
around.

Am I being antagonistic? Well, perhaps, but I really, really want Fonc
to prosper as an open source project - and I really, really fear that it
will *not* unless people try to make that happen. Just coding is not
enough, sorry Ian.

regards, Göran

PS. I am an interested bystander and can't really contribute on the
lower levels - but would love to make at least some contribution in the
higher levels.
