I vote for OSX, VRML and Python. I guess we're already talking about property on IRC and this seems like a good idea. Not urgent but perhaps ought to be done soon? Similar for connection security. Not urgent but should be done at some point perhaps.
It's actually *not* connection security, it's a whole new architechture for identifying sites that would have the incidental advantage of making it easier to set up encrypted connections. However the goal is entirely different -- I'll discuss it in more detail in another mail, then.
However, I need to do more research into the best way to do it, so perhaps it can be pushed back. So I tend to agree; scale things back a bit and for 0.24, go for OSX support, VRML loading, working Python scripts and the new property metaobject. This seems reasonable.
Once Python is usable then things like misc:clickable can be added as needed. Somewhere I have notes on ideas about this kind of thing, I think in some old notebook, I'll try to find them for the wiki. I vote no on bzr since I don't think it gains us enough to offset the fact that it will be an obstacle (even if just psychological) potential developers to work with our in-development code. Even moving to svn is doing this for some projects.
The advantage of bzr is local branches. It's a lot easier to keep work on your computer and have it still be version controlled. When I do a lot of changes and I hate it when I can't check them in at the end of the day. CVS branching might be doable but it's tricky.
I think SVN is popular enough at this point that it would be uncontroversial change for most people.
It's also pretty easy to do two-way synchoronization between bzr and cvs (there is a program called "tailor" that replays changesets from one version control system to another). So we could keep a read-only cvs repo and use bzr for development. *I* would like to use bzr, assuming the new version sorts out various issues I have with the current 0.7 version.
At least we're slowing converging on a consensus :-) [ Peter Amstutz ][ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ][ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [Lead Programmer][Interreality Project][Virtual Reality for the Internet] [ VOS: Next Generation Internet Communication][ http://interreality.org ] [ http://interreality.org/~tetron ][ pgpkey: pgpkeys.mit.edu 18C21DF7 ] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFETa+CaeHUyhjCHfcRAtr2AKCC+k4ATPUkQWVV2EBfByi5anHyHwCcDMnv 9q9SK0OmYy/s8W/wsf2Qek0= =VSv0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ vos-d mailing list vos-d@interreality.org http://www.interreality.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vos-d
