Greetings. I recently checked out the ActiveWriter source and made
some changes to support double derived classes. Unfortunately I
failed to notice that I was changing revision 635 which is apparently
just after a major refactoring that seems to have created other
problems. I'm not sure who's working on this and how active they are,
but I need to make some decisions in an immediate manner since we're
moving forward with our own projects based on ActiveWriter. As such,
I would appreciate some advice on which course of action I can take
that would be most beneficial.
Case 1: Another commit from grimace (or others) is imminent
If so, perhaps it will fix enough problems that we can
proceed. If this is the case, I would wait a short while for that
commit. If there is improved code coming, I'd appreciate it if the
author could commit it soon. I would be happy to contribute based on
the latest source.
Case 2: Development temporarily stalled, but code is close to working
In this case, I would likely work on fixing bugs in the source
and moving forward. Unfortunately I have neither knowledge of the
original source nor of the changes, so I would undoubtedly be slower
and might introduce problems.
Case 3: Development temporary stalled and code has interesting
problems
Since it's very difficult to figure out what code is supposed
to be doing when it's in the middle of being changed from one design
to another, if there is anything but minor work left to do, I feel it
might be better to leave it to the person who was performing the
original change. Since we are in a hurry, I would likely take
revision 575 and redo my original changes for the old source.
Unfortunately this would make it less likely that we would have the
time to redo the changes and contribute them back based on the future
code.
Is this list the right place to send patches for ActiveWriter?
I appreciate any insight, advice, or status updates on the
ActiveWriter situation.
Thanks kindly,
Patrick Earl
