In case the question was not yet discussed on this list, could you please elaborate a bit and explain the "variety of reasons" and why the cons outweight ? To me, the fact that lynx does not have a public repository is a big surprise, because it is the first example of this type I know about. So I am wondering why this is so, whereas so many free software have chosen a developement model based on a publicly available repository. I am totally open to any explanation, just curious. Also, I am not interested in trolls, only in constructive discussions, so there is absolutely no polemic spirit in this question. Thanks in advance for your reply, Sébastien. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
