Dear Andreas,
welcome to FreeCard!
I am not sure wether you received answers from our peers in the meanwhile. I have to excuse myself for non answering your questions.This is just the right place for your questions and all of them are listening to us.
During the weekend, I ran across several FreeCard-related web sites (including those at Sourceforge and the Pantechnicon), but the huge number of small, sometimes wrong(?) or incom- plete(?) pages confused me - many of them looked like "marke- ting material" but concrete sources or binaries were missing.
About FreeCard you can exploit these official resources: http://pan.uqam.ca/cgi-bin/usemod/wiki.pl?FreeCard ( www.freecard.org ) http://www.communautic.uqam.ca/blog/ this list
There might be private homepages from our members, but the last word have the mentioned links
FreeGUI http://pan.uqam.ca/cgi-bin/usemod/wiki.pl?FreeGUI http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freegui/
Please show me those looking like "marketing material", - this cannot be us :-), do we?
Thus, my actual questions:
- what is the actual development status (probably including other "projects" like FreeGUI and JCard(?))?
Alain Farmer has the most insight into the FreeGUI - project.
- where can I get a complete(?) archive of source files for "playing around" (I'm an experienced Java programmer, but have only few knowledge of CVS and none of ANT, MAVEN and what other tools you seem to need for FreeCard)
Adrian Sutton, the lead programmer will hopefully answering you. As far as I know Adrian runs a file-server for us.
I can't promise to contribute to FreeCard, but if the code's structure (and my time) permits I would do so as I like the idea of an open-source HyperCard clone in Java.
We believe strongly in the necessity of this ideas realization.
Unfortunately, however, I have no idea about the actual sta- tus of FreeCard and its components (FreeTalk, interpreter, run-time environment a.s.o.) and if it will ever reach an operational state...(sorry for my disbeliefs - they may be completely wrong - but FreeCard development does not seem very active...)
Most HyperCarder's do not speak Java. Those who do, rarely are interested in a scripting language like this.
Not everybody does open-source... I cannot tell more than you find in http://pan.uqam.ca/cgi-bin/usemod/wiki.pl?FreeCard_Status.
My investments into this project are very small bits of documentation of the HyperCard-part and I could not answer you more, I am sorry for this. I am heading to document more. We definitively would love to integrate more Java-savy engineers!
Greetings to Böblingen.
Stephan Schildberg.
