You're right. Speaking as a 'developer' who has contributed something like 14 lines of code to Django ever, evar, I think everyone should listen to me tell you why Microsoft's Visual Source Save 5.0* is the best. * It's not 'distributed' like all those new-fangled systems. Too many people working on a project at the same time introduces bugs. * Single point of control. Someone needs to review and test everything. If they go on vacation for a week, development should stop and everyone else should go on vacation too. * Harder to fork. We don't need 50,000 forks of Django floating around. It'd be confusing. * Backed by a company with billions of dollars. This will ensure innovation, and prompt bug fixing. * Paid support. If something goes wrong with the database that stores the code, we can hold a Django bakesale to raise money to pay for them to recover it. Any arguments to my points will be taken as a personal attack because you're attacking my personal choice of RCS after all. ;) Hopefully everyone realizes that was a joke by this point. But seriously, getting a bunch of geeks to decide on 'the best' RCS will go over as well as deciding on the best text editor, the best IDE to use for developing with Django, the best desktop environment, the best distro, the best religion, or any number of other unresolved discussions raging on millions of forums around the internets. I personally have invested myself in developing with Django as a framework. As an 'end user' of the framework, I trust the core developers to make sound decisions about its future--including which RCS to use. They are the ones who will be most impacted by the change after all. -A * (No, I really don't want Microsoft's Visual Source Safe. Nobody wants that.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group. To post to this group, send email to django-developers@googlegroups.com.
