The topics about the open-source versions had got a bit tangled, with several topics on the go at once, and some old out-of-date posts.

The open-source project is showing new signs of life, so I have done some tidying up.

There is now only one club section for the open-source discussions, this one -- called TemplotMEC nuts and bolts:

 http://85a.co.uk/forum/view_forum.php?id=26

I'm hoping discussions here can take place in terms which any average user of Meccano can understand. There is a separate discussion area on SourceForge for discussions sprinkled with acronyms and arcane IT-speak. :)

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentemplot/

I have moved several of the old topics out of sight. I can restore them if necessary, but they are mostly out-of-date and confusing.

The remaining old topics have been closed, at least for the present. That means you can't reply to them directly, you need to start a new topic to continue the discussions. I don't like doing that, but I think it's for the best to prevent them getting tangled up again.

If you haven't tried dabbling in the open-source version of Templot and would like to, the getting started topic is at:

 topic 3283

cheers,

Martin.

I have created a sub-section to this one called TemplotMEC code archive:

 http://85a.co.uk/forum/view_forum.php?id=27

The idea is that after code changes have been discussed and chewed over in the main section, adopted code should be posted there as a record of code changes over time.

Preferably each code change will have its own topic, for which the heading would include a reference to the file name and the version number of Templot3 in which the change was first applied.

So that someone coming later to the project can download the current full version's files and then easily see in the archive list any subsequent changes that have been adopted.

cheers,

Martin.
