Nico,
I leave my reply to you to suggest to look into 802.11 PAR template as an
example but I wish to hand this discussion and conclusion to Igor who stated in
his previous memo as “I do not believe any new mode outside WSJT-X is a good
idea, it would be more efficient to keep going in the common direction.”
By his words and his contributions to this community, I judge he is the best
qualified person to talk.
Igor, it is your time.
Regards,
take

Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 2.0 possible new mode/protocol
Hello Take,
Rather, I suggest to form approved “working group” which defines the objective
and timeline under this community.
For what concerns WSJT-X I think that a working group already exists and
there's no need for a new working group working on top of the existing one.
You are already free to modify the WSJT-X source code, recompile, add
functionality or a new, smarter mode, and make a new code branch if you wishes
it so.
What such a suggested working group should do, therefore? To decide with
authority what to place in the main software trunk and what not?
I would not call this a working group, I would rather call it a political group.
Don't you like FT-8? Would you like to live somewhere in the future? Take the
WSJT-X code and modifiy it, or write a new one from scratch and make it
available world-wide.
As long the result fullfills some world wide accepted regulatory requirement
nobody would complain.
Of course I'm expressing only my own opinion which might not be the same of Joe
or other contributors.
Personally I would never work under a group which defines objectives I have to
achieve.
I'm not an employee of a working group that defines something.
If I think that I've found something interesting to do for a community I define
the objectives of my studies by myself (often after deep discussions with
trusted friends) and then, if the study looks good to others, I've nothing in
contrary if my work can be part of a larger one.
Exactely as I already did in the past - for the very small, almost
insignificant part of the code that involved me - gladly, proudly and without
any interference from any so called working group.
And exactely what I will continue to do.
