When Juliusz first suggested this, we were perhaps more optimistic about being able to keep working on the gui code. More than one year later, it has become clearer that (i) nobody really has time to work on it (ii) nobody seems to be using it anyway (iii) attention would be be better spent working on an eventual libdarcs. Besides, have you even looked at this thing? Ugggleee.
I agree. We should focus working on the "core" of darcs. Making a GUI for a versioning system is not an easy task, making a cross-platform one is even harder... I think that we should leave to other projects, maybe OS-specific (e.g. TortoiseDarcs) this task. Making a "libdarcs" would surely help. By the way, this is my first mail to darcs-devel. I've adopted darcs on the company were I work a couple of months ago, and while I've got a good knowledge of darcs issues in the current version (I've already hit the infamous exponential-conflict-handle problem a couple of times), its benefits are crucial in my context. So... I'm jumping in. I don't think it's currently a very good time for "casual hacking" in darcs, because all the new (still undocumented) stuff about hashed repositories and new conflict resolution, but count me as part of the community :).
