I am sorry but it won't be possible to add all users of DesireData 0.39.A to the developer CVS. SF suggest to have at most 20 developers, Pd CVS has already 54. Finding a better host for the CVS would be good though, maybe this can go in line with an svn transition. Any volunteer to take the lead in that ?
Are you talking about finding completely alternative hosting to SourceForge, for SVN hosting Puredata on the whole?
I don't know whether Günter means switching away from SourceForge, but I really think that the whole Pd CVS should leave SourceForge right now. The web services like patch-tracker and bug-tracker and downloads and such can all stay on SourceForge, I don't mind, but the CVS has to leave because there are too many problems.
Actually, because Chun and I really have to work on DD alot these days and the CVS is just plain down, we'd rather move out tomorrow than waiting June 1st, but if SF is up tomorrow until the 30th I don't mind. If SF has longer downtime I'll make an emergency fork.
I think that a DD fork is not a bad idea. It seems that you guys want to make a lot of changes to core and are frustrated with the way things work now. I think that you wouldnt have to complain so much on this list and could run things how you want.
But all I ask is that you try to keep things compatible, and submit patches to the patch tracker for anything that makes sense to have in Miller's sources. For example, a class browser would be nice to have in all Pd branches.
