+The [[YASim]] FDM is looking for a new maintainer:
-{{cquote|<nowiki>So, as I've previously asked before, I really need people running from 'next'
+{{cquote|There are some pending merge requests[http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/thread/533DBD01.9040802%40sol2500.net/#msg32183541] 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.

-is what some people have reported.
-Note this applies even if you 'don't use' terrasync since the SVN sync engine
+Obviously this is chicken-and-egg, since no one can become expert enough in the  code to become a maintainer :)

+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
