Hi. Well, using VCS doesn't mean that you are giving away power/leadership of the project. Using VCS means saving a lot of time and being a lot more productive, even if you do not accept any contribution of anybody. I agree with most of your points, but I didn't read any reason against using VCS. I'd love to work 1-2 hours per day on x2go, but NOT on source code that is a couple of months or even years old and send tar.gz through e-mail until the confusion is perfect and nobody knows who's talking about what state/revision of the code. But it is all right if you don't want that free gift. And no, VCS is not just a way to download files that could also be put in a .tar.gz - VCS is the one and only way to make structured open, fast and reliable development possible. If you don't believe me, ask anybody who has worked in a professional software project. Anyway, this is my last mail on this subject - I have offered you my support and you don't want it for reasons I don't know. Please do not complain if an "x2go-ng" project appears on github in the next few months - I need to help myself and my clients - and well, I have asked you before.
I get your point about VCS completely, GIT is planned by the developers for the very near future. It will come after the next release is out. As a contributer, working on the most recent code base is absolutely necessary for providing your contributions.
However, I strongly think, that we should focus our brains and hearts on a common solution for X2go!!!
Maybe this needs time, patience and also a soft perception for the needs, wishes and hesitations of others. You can never go too deep, but only too fast...
Similar to you, I am currently working on a terminal server concept for schools in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Maybe there is interest on your side to share ideas and approaches. Please contact me privately (and in German) if you like.
