hey folks,

so at the moment how is the best way to plug in to the xo project?

i had an idea and dont know if this is similar or not to the xo project, but from what i understand, programmers often use a tool known as CVS.

it works like theres a big repository of code for a project, often open source. people can check in and out of the repository, either anonymously or with a login. they can check out code and work on it, and then they check it back in, when its checked back in, there is some sort of democratic procees to decide what to do with the newly checked in code, it might replace the old, it might get dumped, it might evolve into something new. and then the process continues.

in our case, it would be an original trilogy repository, we could check in and out any of the building blocks of the project: frames, segments, scripts, whatever. the goal would be to make it as easy as possible for people to collaborate, a sort of distributed restoration project, where we are can all work on something however we do, and then when we can combine our work we do.

im not sure how this would be set up, but hey, neat

B-)
