Dear Bernat, I will be happy to add something about Scat on the website (I already added a sentence to fix this issue). Now, we can probably do better together.
I am sorry for this omission, I made the google code page too fast and I have to do it better (It is on my todo list !). You can also contact us on the phratch mailing-list: phra...@googlegroups.com Cheers, Jannik 2014/1/10 Sven Van Caekenberghe <s...@stfx.eu> > You are right, Bernat: in open source we build on an immense amount of > work done by many developers all over the world and we should always > recognise that properly, that is only fair. > > At least for me, I contribute to open source just because I am grateful > for what I received and I want to give something back. > > Open source software is a prime example of planet wide human collaboration > as it should be. > > Hopefully your request will be heard by those who can fix the (probably > unintentional) omission. > > Sven > > On 10 Jan 2014, at 16:52, Bernat Romagosa <tibabenfortlapala...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > I'm not sure this is the proper place to discuss this, but I just felt I > had to write it down. > > > > I've just been taking a look at the Phratch GoogleCode site and I've > noticed there is not a single mention of where the project comes from...
