Maybe I'm too young to be conservative, but isn't sending patches and
discussion just what the gambas-devel mailing list is for? User comments go
to gambas-user. My mail programs perform well; why bring a second tool in?
I can't see how it could make things better.

IMHO, if something must change, I'd prefer git over svn where the situation
of branch/work/patch/merge is wonderful... which is: way better than svn.

Will I be able to reasonably use that platform without a browser? I don't
like to have my (not javascript-able) browser open all the time and websites
aren't "tools" in the sense that I could work with them efficiently.
That is just my two cents. To whom it pleases, I'll do the Beno?t and say,
"Why not?".
If someone has something to say about the code I feel responsible for,
I would really appreciate them doing it via mail.
