Even though I'm just citing a small part (to save everyone from
browsing the entire article), I agree with everything Thorsten wrote in
his posting.

I may remind those who are having hard times at understanding the
context that the 'traditional' development model with a combined hangar
at least brought them an OpenSource flight simulation with quite a few
pretty fine aircraft.  Cedric, I'm not claiming that everything's
perfect in FlightGear land, but until now you failed to show how you're
going to contribute a solution to any of the relevant issues wrt. The
FlightGear project's aircraft hangar.
Instead, you're just applying a technical solution to a non-technical
issue ....  an approach which usually is destined to fail, as history
shows.

Cheers,
        Martin.
