Renaming to community sounds good. But if you are going to fork (i.e. make structural changes, IMPd, etc.) then it seems that we should have a distinct fork branch, and a devel branch. devel would be for adding changes to miller's version and the community/fork branch would be separate.
well, i disagree with you ... the changes that have been made to devel reached a point, where they can't easily be merged with miller's version any more ... of course, someone could branch of a devel2_0_39 that's based on stable_0_39 ... but i think this is not worth the effort. having more than one major branches _is_ a bad idea (but it's the current situation) ... having more two is insane. so the one branching from stable_ should consider discussing with the PD community / Pure Devil developers about the changes he proposes...
Or it'd probably make the most sense to keep devel as a branch, then make the "community" fork its own directory. If the idea is to make major, incompatible changes then keeping it a branch doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.
well a few changes will have to be made. some may even break the binary compatibility with miller's branch ... still, i think it would be a very bad approach to get a too big distance between miller's pd and what's now devel ...
cheers ... tim
