Yes, it's true that this information is missing in source package. Even DOAP file does not contain the reference to the "official" Git repo (yes, Sourceforge hosted Git repo is currently the official one). >>> I'd like to see a HACKING.git in the official repo that lists all the >>> URLs of actively-maintained versions.

I'm finally fully agree with Greg. Initialy I imagined that whole documentation should be in the wiki. But I revised my opinion. I vote for having as much information in text files in the code. The main reason is that it ensure that documentation/information is always in sync with code and hackers will have hability to fork (even us if we decide to leave Sourceforge one day). The wiki should (probably) serve two goals (at least): - website, advertising about viking - community site, to share map sources or enumerate personnal forks of the Git repo. So please, add the Git repo URL and contribution conventions to HACKING file. -- Guilhem BONNEFILLE -=- JID: gu...@im.apinc.org MSN: guilhem_bonnefi...@hotmail.com -=- mailto:guilhem.bonnefi...@gmail.com -=- http://nathguil.free.fr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
