Actually you might find that a good place to discuss the Sitar model
is on the STK mailing list, which is where it comes from.
Ah. But does that version print to the screen as well? I suppose the real issue is verifying the frequency we ask it to use is within range so with regard to the fix the performance-wrecking error messages may not be a real issue. I may look into this route.
Thanks Kas, I want to be clear that I share the same sentiment. Sorry
if I come off being utilitarian in my communications sometimes, but I
am usually just trying to be efficient. Obviously I think ChucK is a
really cool idea and totally respect Ge for making it happen. But yes,
I would love some communication and perhaps slightly more informative
commit comments sometimes, too. ;-)
I thought your sentiments were quite clear and your message "sounded" friendly to me, I just went a step further (or more general) so I wanted to be a 100% clear. It's not my place to tell anybody how to spend his/her time but I still wanted to comment on what's going on and how I think it could be improved (for everybody, I'm actually hoping for this to save Ge time).
I want to avoid situations where two people end up trying to solve the
same problem, for example, stepping on each other's toes. For
example, right now I have no idea, someone at Princeton or Stanford
could already be working hard on the 64-bit problem and is totally
annoyed by my patch, but I have no way of knowing this.
Yes, I agree. This is a important issue. Not just here but also with things like Maudi trying to improve the Mini's interface and add to it.
I'm actually fine with the idea of Ge not wanting to work with a
larger base of developers, I'm okay with that, but the main reason I
keep persisting is that he's said himself that he is interested in
contributions.
Yes, it says so in the "TODO" file;
"too many to name. Need more developers. Thanks." This line has been there since the dawn of "now" as far as I know. Also; "working on ChucK" is used as a teaching device at Princeton (likely Stanford as well?)...
I think it's mainly the procedure that's unclear, I suspect. Of course it would be quite ChucKian for there not to be any set procedure at all....
Yours,
Kas.
