Maybe I'll get back into it throughout the christmas break.<br>
I'm a little wary of doing it without discussion with the official<br>
chuck devs, maybe we should discuss the idea more on chuck-dev@.<br></blockquote><div><br>I agree. IMHO the core of what ChucK's development will need in the future is de-centralisation and communication.<br><br>To me it's clear that we have people around that can write a decent UGen or two and we have plenty of people who can test such things. If some people verify a certain new UGen works, is stable, useful and relatively efficient I feel it should need no more then a glance of one of the main DEV's to be included in the main build. There will be bugs anyway and we'll find them, no big deal. If we had a shortage of people willing to risk their computer and sanity on untested ideas we wouldn't be here :¬).<br>
<br>The same goes for the manual,etc.<br><br>I'm no project leader, I have next to no experience with this type of process so take my words with a few lumps of salt. It's my impression that our main DEV's are highly tallented people and that becuase of this their time is in great demand. I suspect comunication is becoming a bottle-neck and that with a properly organised de-centralised structure we could get more done. There is a lot of stuff that could be done that wouldn't need somebody like Ge personally, at least not beyond the occasional check for coherency.<br>
<br>We do need quality control but quallity control is the one thing we've proven to be very good at de-centralising. We've got more senior users that will work together to hunt down more complicated issues and we've got a steady influx of enthousiastic new users that have turned out to be great at pointing out some things are under-documented.<br>
<br>IMHO,<br>Kas.<br></div></div><br>
