Hi everyone.... As is probably no surprise I've been finding it hard to find large blocks of time to devote to coding CyberBoard. I've also been doing a fair amount of work on Linux as of late and have really been digging it. Therefore I've decided that CB needs to be Free Open Source Software (aka FOSS).
However, there are a few complications. * I would like FOSS CB to be cross platform. There are some cross platform C/C++ UI frameworks that would allow this. Unfortunately the current code base is very Windows and MFC specific. Although the core data management code could probably be ported fairly easily a big piece of the code is UI. * The initial public release must be deloused of MSoft. I would like to sanitize MSoft from the code. There will no doubt be some pain here. I would rather not link against Wine as a solution. I'd rather not do this alone so I'm putting out a call for experienced C/C++ Linux/Windows programmers to help in this endeavor. The final result should be a great thing for the gaming community. In the end, accelerate the addition features such as real-time play, etc. Takers? Happy Easter! Dale
