D-IDE and Mono-D

[simendsjo]

This is perhaps not the right forum, but I guess others might be interested too...

I see you are creating both Mono-D and D-IDE, and it also seems both are maintained. How does these projects relate to each other, and what are your plans for these projects? If someone were to contribute, how would you prefer this to be done? By working on D-IDE or Mono-D (I haven't tried D-IDE, and I've just installed Mono-D, but Mono-D seems really great!)

D-IDE and Mono-D share the same core library - the D_Parser, which cares about quite everything related to editing, parsing, refactoring etc., what makes it relatively easy to maintain these two projects at the same time - because every change in that parser library affected both project 'derivates'.

Anyway, I guess Mono-D gained more weight now, because it's based on an IDE which already has got much more features than D-IDE - I originally wrote D-IDE as a frame program for the D parser only - as you also might see, there are still a lot of commonly used environment features missing. D-IDE is neither a complete editor nor a complete IDE - it's something in between ;)

Of course I'd be happy if there were some volunteer programmers which wanted to contribute code - they could even take the entire code, and make an even better IDE out of it!
Even if it's about to refactor code parts, I'd appreciate it!

So if you want to do so, please feel free and just tell me if you want to get commit/push rights on D-IDE's/Mono-D's sources

I would love to help, but I'm busy working on my projects in D instead.

You don't need commit/push rights if you're using git, you just fork and send pull requests.

If someone wants to contribute regularly, why don't give him push rights? :)
