For a long time (pre-WM5), SynCE was pretty much a two-man shop with Volker and me, while others made guest appearances of various magnitude. We could either keep the membership list as "credits", or we could clean it. (I'm still a member of the ScummVM project but my last commit was 4-5 years ago... :-) By the way, I'm very, VERY, happy that SynCE development regained velocity with the WM5 support! Anyway, I have never tried to impose any rules on the development because I was happy for every little contribution I could get! That's why there is inconsistent spaces/tabs in source code, different licenses, etc. I did it my way (two spaces for tab, MIT license, etc) while others did things their way (GPL license, etc). I'd say that this is a maturity thing for a project and it could be that SynCE has reached a point where some structure would be beneficial. However, I will try to not interfere in this more than with this mail... :-) Cheers, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
