I was very offended.  Shame on you. =P

I'll admit I would like the functionality there out of the box, but that is
from a user's perspective.  Two developers from two different projects,
while compatible, are looking at this as a "shut up and use it as it is"
perspective.

Maybe a third person could come in and package it for that purpose?  Someone
with time on their hands?

Thanks for the great software, the both of you!

I'm going to ask a question I've been thinking about for a while... Is
it about time that bbwin is bundled into the hobbit project as the
"official" hobbit windows client? By this I mean providing the bbwin
application with the complete hobbit server/client package? I think
that
Etienne has done amazing work over the last few months in integrating
the client with the hobbit centralised server setup.

I don't see any need for that. BBWin is being developed entirely by
Etienne, and he has his own schedule for making new releases and
improvements. Merging BBWin with Hobbit would make that more difficult,
I think.

It is true that with the central configuration that BBWin now has, there
will be some more coordination needed between the two projects. E.g. I
won't do a release of Hobbit without checking with Etienne first if he
has any updates that he wants merged first. But I think on the whole it
is better to keep the two projects going separately.

"If it works, dont 'fix' it".
