I'm not sure what you mean by 'resynchronising'. Do you mean doing the initial diff, or updating the diff when the user makes changes? <snip> > Just curious: > How many people are actively developing Meld at the time and how much > time / effort do they on (on average / max.) put into it? There's one maintainer (me) and I'm the only one doing day-to-day bits and pieces, answering mailing list questions, etc. though I do find some time at least for features. I spend a few hours per week... not really sure how many, but more than 2 and usually less than 8. There are several other people who have been around for a while (check the NEWS file) and semi-regularly send in fixes, which is great. There are a few people interested in specific VC backends, which is useful as I only use Git and Mercurial. Piotr Piastucki has been responsible for a lot of our recent diff work, including our whole Myer's diff implementation and some merging work. In the last couple of releases, there have also been several people contributing significant features, which is awesome! cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
