yes, it also needs modernization to have a chance to get contributions/ contributors. it's a question of chicken and egg: ease contribution (particularly review process) before changing all the source code and build? or change all the source code and build before easing contribution? Changing the build tool is my hope for future too: it's just not that simple, more complex than going to Git for maintaining source code that's why I deliberately chose to start the modernization journey by svn to Git, which will help us try and review the toolset Hervé > > Niall > > > Regards, > > > > Hervé
