LOL. I absolutely agree with you 100% :) However, there are two points to consider. 1 I am talking about 'extensions' that would always be available but could be developed independently from the core code if the interface was already there, such as a parser extension. 2 Fossil is more than an scm, I am considering several applications for, my own use, based on fossil, where the (it just works, and its simple) principle is just what I want. I would like to write the extra application code in such a way that when the fossil core code is changed, all I need to do us update the core files. If I need to change core code then it would be difficult to maintain even if I have only four or five apps. Thank you all for your ideas, opinions and links. I am still digesting them! I have committed an initial prototype of the creole parser and made a live version available for testing at. http://pytrash.co.uk/cgi-bin/CreoleInFossil/ -- Robert _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
