At this moment I don't see Wave as a downstream dependency of SwellRT. (SwellRT depending on Wave, right?) SwellRT has modified Wave in different parts, so there is not a clear separation of responsibilities right now.
Personally I would rather Wave to take over SwellRT entirely and liberate Wave from the current GUI and become something generic. Then I would work on Wave primarily, keeping SwellRT as a fork with maybe very specific customizations to support jetpad. 2017-03-20 21:27 GMT+01:00 Upayavira <u...@odoko.co.uk>: > Pablo, > > Do you see Wave's copy of SwellRT as a fork?
