Hi All, Apart from the major task to write a Readme... ;-)
- We had some files encoded with CRLF, maybe there are still others? - We have a lot of mixed indentation (spaces+tabs) that produce warnings with newer compilers. - We still have a big amount of German comments that need to be translated. - We have a vim modeline in some files, shouldn't we use them more? - ... I really don't know where to stop here! Before we talk about a timeline, let's do the basic tasks... A "cleaner" source code may also attract volunteers/developers. What do others think?
