So few open source mods in the open for the Acekart RPG...
Why don't we start a Sourceforge/other-SVN-host project to host an alternate firmware of the RPG? Unlike the few scattered and unmaintained firmwares, we could have one big happy firmware. Or two:
I would plan on having at least two editions of the firmware:
1. A firmware that resembles the official version as much as possible, adding features that fit in well with the existing code. This firmware should track the official firmware closely, so it is never more than a version behind. We can't stray too far or merging will be difficult.
2. A firmware that we go crazy with, and build the way we think it would be best. This one will be hard to keep in feature sync with the official, so if the official has a feature we want we will have to cut and paste rather than merge it in.
If someone can think of an interesting project name, or wants to suggest a site other than Sourceforge, I'll create the project. I'll also add you guys to the developer/maintainer list if you post your sourceforge id.
I sadly don't have my RPG yet, so I'll probably just import code now and make sure it builds without having to include the build enviroment.
We could also use this to hold user-created themes - the official RPG ones look like they were designed by IBM.
