Indeed *git* is what is needed. Branching/merging capabilities for gambas is a must, but that implies moving the whole tree to a new VCS, and it's not too practical, needless to say it can be a really tedious job. In the meantime, i thought something like Rietveld would really help as a collaborative tool. Here are a few threads that would really benefit from this tool, just as an example: http://old.nabble.com/Store-GB_VARIANT-in-memory-td34286343.html http://old.nabble.com/_compare%28%29-Type-mismatch%3A-wanted-Date%2C-Number-or-String-td34235764.html http://old.nabble.com/Convert-string-to-integer-with-arbitrary-base-td33177283.html I'm not saying "Hey, if you want to post code to the mailing list, then use this." I'm just making it available. In the end, its your choice to use it or not. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
