This is exactly what interests me. I mean, what is the development model
for ChucK? I'm an open source evangelist (my day job is open government
in Poland), so open source development model seems the most obvious and
exciting for me. With ChucK I feel a little lost, becuase I see no
roadmap, nothing like a real features proposal or some steering
committee, outdated documentation and no real info about the current
state of the language. There's no obvious way to join the project as an
average developer or volunteer (helping with keeping information up to
date, managing the community, documenting or so).
So my question is: what is the role of the ChucK community in the
language development and maintenance? Wouldn't be better to make it more
open source way?
I say that only because I do my music exclusively in ChucK, but more
advanced stuff I'm doing more "unimplemented" or "undocumented" features
come up. What's event worst - I do want to do sth about it, but I can't,
because there's no easy way to get involved. In other words - making it
open source way would possibly bring some new energy to ChucK. As I
wrote before - I'm really eager to help where I can (everywhere besides
hard-core language coding).
On the other hands - it's obviously great to read that new release is
coming!!!!!
All the best,
trzewiczek
ChucK => now;
