Any updates to tickets there will be automatically sent to mailing list, and mailing list traffic consist of almost solely of those ticket updates.
So, for specific requests or patches create gna.org ticket (so the discussion about it is properly tracked by the ticket), for more generic development discussion send mail to mailing list directly.
Mailing lists: http://gna.org/mail/?group=freeciv From the bar on top of the page you can switch to bug or patch trackers too.
Forum is primarily for users. Life on freeciv-dev mailing list is often hectic enough so that developers have not much time to check what happens in wiki or forums (I know I had months between my forum visits at the old forums)Ĩmhotep wrote:If so, what is this forum, this thread, good for?
Well, it's the official place for that kind of discussion, for starters. Though I have to admit that at the moment all the other developers are busy with other things, so I'm responsible of almost all the traffic to mailing list. Still, even I'm more likely to take time to answer coding questions there, in proper place, properly tracked for reference, than other places.Ĩmhotep wrote:Why should I believe that those gurus or anyone else interested in advancing freeciv code are over there, purposefully ignoring any posts here or on the wiki?
As for your questions here, I've noted them, but I've not been able to write proper answers from the top of my head. I'll give some answers when I'm next investigating that part of code. Again - if this was in gna.org ticket, say Bug: "AI not handling GameLoss units properly" I'd be reminded about the issue when ever I go ticket list back and forth, and would be more likely to do something about it.
