Are you fine with using vim-dev as our mailinglist for all runtime related
questions?
One person I'd like to see buy into the idea is Dr. Chip, who has been silent so far on
the "team maintenance" issue. He maintains some of the most complicated plugin
files in the runtime.
Chip, have you been following this thread?
Hello!
I've been on vacation this week, attending my daughter's graduation from
Emory University.
I have several concerns about this proposal:
* vim.vim : there's a large block of code that I generate automatically
in syntax/vim.vim. Any changes made in that block of code, which is
marked in the syntax file, will be wiped out whenever I make an update
there.
* sh.vim : by default it supports borne shell; most (including myself)
use either Korn/Posix or Bash. In my experience there's been a lot of
narrowmindedness on this; folks use bash and complain that its not
supporting bash by default, and those using Korn/Posix complain that its
not supporting Korn/Posix by default. I've left it at Borne to
encourage people to make a choice. There is a potential issue with
maintainers imposing their view about the default.
* tex.vim : I am trying to keep out package support. There are
thousands if not tens of thousands of packages supporting various
optional features in LaTeX; it is impractical to expect vim's
syntax/tex.vim to support them all (and they may not even co-exist
properly). syntax/tex.vim is already quite large enough without lots of
package support. I've encouraged users to write
after/syntax/tex/pkgname.vim files to support their packages, and to
post them on vim.sf.net. I can foresee that we'll have maintainers
imposing their package support into syntax/tex.vim, which is a potential
problem of this approach.
Well, I need to get some gas for my lawnmower.
See you!
Chip Campbell
