because we should develop one lyx? when you and JMarc have different opinions about lyx2lyx philosophy, will we dissociate to the two subprojects lyx2lyx_uwe and lyx2lyx_jmarc and let the user decide? when one of you leave, who will fix the problems of the remaining one? no, even after some fight you both seems to work together. beautiful example of such parallel versioning is the general chaos we currently have with two different windows installers. can you explain me how the users decided which one is right? this dissociation is just pain which costs us two times more work and makes users perplexed. > I'm happy that my installer is in SVN although there is another approach: > Joost's installer.
