With the upcoming release of the FMV patch in trunk, *before* we add the fmvs into the repo, I would like to confirm the data structure. trunk/data (only pumpkin official stuff, + derivatives of their work?) trunk/code or trunk/source trunk/FMVs (since it is optional?) trunk/tools (for editors, utilities, and whatever else) trunk/3rdparty (*If* we go this route. Though, I rather not.) The main reason I don't think we should have 3rd party content in the repo is: a) they need access to the repo in order to fix/modify/change it. b) if we include a mod or two, we are obligated to stick all the other mods that people make. c) license issues. d) we got lots of other good content that *isn't* in the repo (lots of nice music available on the forums), and it doesn't seem fair to include only some stuff, and not other stuff. e) filling up the repo without a real good reason with the extra data. Therefore, I think it is best that we remove all 3rd party mods that we have, and instead of the repo, stick them where they belong, like http://download.gna.org/warzone/ or perhaps a dedicated page on the main site. This would even out the playing field, and not clog up the repo with extra files.
