avih, one more note: The big problem is not how we handle our discussions on the mailing list, it's when a person does not respect the open source governance and pushes a bunch of unsolicited commits without *any* discussion. This has happened many times over the last three or four years. Pull req

Hey everyone, I owe an apology to grishka. Grishka, I may not like how you currently handle unwanted pushes (often by revert without discussion), but I don't think you'd be half as reactive if we kept unwanted pushes out of the main repo in the first place. In that case we'd get the best of your e

I am less concerned about losing this kind of meta-info, as I expect we would continue discussion primarily on the mailing list. Mailing lists seem to me to be much better venues for discussion than the facilities provided by github. My bigger concern is: who would be the project managers? Who wou

Hi, on Github we could use Travis to run tests after every commit. We could also use Qemu there to check if the other architectures still work. It might also serve as an example how to setup a cross development environment with TinyCC. Best regards. Daniel

I would like to have the ability to contribute to tcc in a more structured fashion. I have been working to get tcc to build/run on cygwin but only in private work. Without a way to publicly contribute to tcc development I have little hope of having other contributers to assist with the cygwin wo

Hello all, Jean-Claude articulates concerns I have felt as well. Sometimes we'll get a series of ridiculous commits from hitherto unknown programmers trying to "help". Sometimes we get commits from people trying to extend tcc's behavior beyond its core intent. Other times core hackers (OK, mostly
