My impression about DesireData is that it's trying to do everything we always wanted about PD but were afraid to program. That sounds good, but in practice it's seems to be the project of one person and some collaborators.
Doesn't that sound like Miller Pâquette's Pd ?
The dev version is not developped only by Miller (Puckette, not Pâquette).
Who ever commits to non-DesireData -r devel_0_39 pd/src apart from Tim and Thomas? How is the relationship between their work and Miller's work considered a collaboration in this case?
In practice all branches and subprojects in pd/src are based on very small teams of size comparable to that of DesireData.
and there a couple of "inventions" like these things I would call "yats" (yet another translation system),
PureMSP doesn't use MsgCat (or GetText) either.
Of course, it's not internationalized...
Yeah. Well, adding features requires adding code, and get this, getting a piece of software (Pd) to use another piece of software (MsgCat) requires adding code too! Also I don't see MsgCat as saving me work right now, and most importantly, I don't see my current system as difficult to migrate to MsgCat whenever you finally do convert me to holy MsgCat.
and I don't know how many "#ifdef" it takes to decide that a project forked (there's already 13 for DESIRE).
There are 104 occurrences of #ifdef MSW, so, what's your point?
MSW is a platform, not a branch or a fork...
When both are implemented as #ifdefs, what's the difference?
Why is a "platform" more #ifdef-worthy than a "fork" to the point that you deem acceptable that the "platform" has 8 times more #ifdefs than a subproject which is in the same branch and that you call a "fork" ?
