Hi David and all other external developers,
Ok, I am moving this onto pd-dev, I think it belongs there and I do feel much more comfortable writing to people that I think might be interested in what I say.
Anyhow, as we sort of agreed on working with CVS, the last question is how. There are three options, sourceforge, Davids university and the demudi site.
My preference is: - CVS on devel.demudi.org - probably a mirror by David
... but don't hold your breath yet, there is a way to go.
Then if this sort of works out I would like to do something similar with pd itself. Something like an unstable version, no guaranties, where people can try out their fonts, colors, menues and everything, and finally leave it up to Miller to decide what gets included. But this is even farther away, and of course it depends if Miller agrees on such a development system.
Well thats it, I really hope this works out ..
Guenter
PS: We will need somone who does autocompilation on a Windows machine, (well and OSX) anyone with acess to something like this ?

Well i think you're probably right. In any case, if we do CVS, it is possible to move to aegis later on if indeed it does catch on. Here's an idea...if we (uea) hosted a dedicated debian box to do PD stuff only (CVS, info about externals development, mailing list), we could see what activity it spawns and then the community itself could decide on a move towards aegis? I think I could set this up within the next month. If you think it'll help, I'd love to do that. Perhaps it could live as a 'sister' server to demudi's?
... sin noticias de johannes, .... (I have written him an email about the list and the project, ...)
Yup, it would be really good to hear what he thinks...
Meantime, I'll go see what hardware I can 'borrow'...;-)
Cheers, David

Hello there.
Ok, after debating the issue with central servers at UEA, they seem to have a problem with the way AEGIS would live within their servers. Also, after trying to install on OSX, there were too many problems. Now, thing is that AEGIS does NOT necessarily need to be run (like CVS) from a central server. Could you both please take a look, if you have time, at the actual documents for aegis? There are several 'cases' which aegis can be run in, one of them being email.
http://aegis.sourceforge.net/documents.html
They are all pdf docs. There's a lot of questions to be asked here, IMO. First two that occur to me after reading (most of) the docs is: who would write the testing routines (I assume it would have to be Miller)? And, there would have to be a hierarchy, as in developers--integrators-- etc., so who would decide?
Anyway, we can still help with hosting information pages, and also we are about to (finally) get a debian server which I can maintain, so in theory we can help there too. Either way, maybe Miller will get time to look at AEGIS, see what he thinks?
Cheers, David
