Hi, I was following the discussion in silence, Im a scid user (now a scidvspc user) in Ubuntu linux for years and Im a dev myself and opensource fan (and off course I play chess since 12 years old... some time ago ;) )
Fulvio: I dont understand your idea about the add more features to the scid line (I think a death line right now no updates in a long time) with the only idea to put scid at the scidvspc level or with the same features (anyways you are free to donate your time), thats not a wasted of time? efforts? and hands? for me is better idea add more code to the latest and more developed code version... and after that (for me and if the hands are there) add the scid code to the scidvspc (the portion not used in the last one) Steve said he will going to port the dock option (I nice option for me) so? Is possble create a new counter v.5 for this new merge version... and a note in the history of the project... Off course like both softwares are opensource I can see other scenario: the merge can keep the scidvspc name (or whatever) with the scid code additions, whats the idea to move the code in scidvspc->scid way? keep the name? I think thats causing the most problems and discussions here. The way scid->scidvspc is possible too...
