When reading the emails on this list about this topic, I get a strong feeling of "us vs. them". Is that really necessary? In that light, and trying to make visible the (positive!) aspects of the different opinions, allow me to ask: Tres, while I realize that you also rightly raise the formal issue that a vocal minority shouldn't surge ahead and create facts, do I understand you correctly that the main inherent[1] issue is a legal one, concerning proper handling of copyright etc.? Could someone explain what's at stake here, since at least I only have a vague feeling of "if something in that area goes wrong, it could be really bad"? Laurence, do I understand you correctly that your main concern is ease of use for development and that decentralized version control would be preferable to a centralized one? Do you feel unduly blocked by the need to resolve these (rather tricky) legal issues? Might a technical solution be of use until this is resolved (git can read/write svn, can't it)? Wolfgang [1] Sorry, my English is failing me. I'm looking for a word that means, as opposed to formal. _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
