| === YASim looking for a new maintainer ===
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| {{cquote|There are some [http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/thread/533DBD01.9040802%40sol2500.net/#msg32183541 pending merge requests to add some Yasim features], but we have an issue that since none of the current C++ developers own, or are experts in Yasim, we're reluctant to be the person who merges such changes, and potentially introduces subtle regressions.
| |
|
| |
| Obviously this is chicken-and-egg, since no one can become expert enough in the code to become a maintainer :)
| |
|
| |
| So, I'm more than happy to apply patches *providing* I can be convinced they are sane+reasonable from a pure code perspective (happy to help with that, too,
| |
| if people are new to C++), and providing we have some assurance that a representative sample of yasim aircraft are unchanged or improved by the patch.
| |
| Suggestions for that means in practice, are most welcome!
| |
|
| |
| Otherwise I worry, given the nature of the solver, we'll keep optimising the solver for some aircraft, and making other existing aircraft worse - until someone tests them, and announced that they're no longer working.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg23986.html

| {{cquote|I am still broadly happy to answer questions if posed (as long as I remember enough to come up with a meaningful answer). Just cc: me if you do, because my
| |
| latencies here are measured in weeks.
| |
| Bugs can always be fixed. What YASim needs is a maintainer, not really expertise per se. The latter comes from the former.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg23986.html
