I have hopped that you can do that but was unsure. So please, send email to all translators and and package/port maintainers to ask them to register to the mailing-list created especially for them. >> I also sent email about the port of Windows and Mac OS X. >> > > I saw that.

Of course, it's not the high priority so if nobody is doing the effort on it, it will not be really supported... But anyway, we should try to find who are the latest maintainers of these ports to get feedback from them to make the port easier. >> I have also asked for a volunteer for searching sounds and so on... >> >> But ? but nobody is volunteer... >> > > Indeed it looked like it; I really like the way you thought about the > sounds, professionals and the money.

Some features are independent of the rest of the game, and yes, for that, branch could be a solution, hiding feature for the release is another (as we have done for the network menu in release 0.7.9). For some features like network, the code is very very intrusive and merging such branch should be crazy! > If it becomes a custom to release every 6 months (or some other fixed > cycle) people will never feel that their work is in vain, if they miss > this release they will get into the next. > I have thought about releasing every 6 months too (good for integration in most linux distributions). Currently, I was planning to create a branch at the very beginning of August. On this branch, only translations, packaging stuffs (fix makefile, fix compilation pb on different systems) and hiding features should be done. I hope that doing that we can have all packages and translations updated for the very beginning of September. But, I can't promise it will be 0.8 since we have some difficult bugs to solve (I think about bug 8529 on which I have spent 6 hours without any ideas about the problem..). So perhaps, it will be only a 0.8beta2 Regards, Matt (gentildemon) _______________________________________________ Wormux-dev mailing list Wormux-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wormux-dev
