17:38 celeron55   i whipped up this today
17:39 celeron55   (still adding a few things)
17:39 celeron55   (not sure if useful)
17:47 celeron55   hmm, quite done now
18:12 celeron55   renamed still http://c55.me/temp/mt_dev_survey/
18:22 celeron55   I request every developer-ish person to fill this long-looking but actually short thingy: http://c55.me/temp/mt_dev_survey/
18:31 hmmmm       hold on, what is the "map generator modding" patch?
18:33 celeron55   you shouldn't discuss but rather just answer what you know
18:33 celeron55   it's kind of a combined test and an opinion poll
18:35 hmmmm       snow is part of the snow biome flag in my mapgen too
18:35 hmmmm       i need to seriously get done with my stuff faster, because now there are all these other patches/mods that duplicate effort and do it very differently from what i imagined
18:37 celeron55   it's probably not really about speed; it's about organization
18:37 hmmmm       i have school to deal with too
18:37 celeron55   organization of people working on the things
18:52 hmmmm       unrelated, but, later on i'm planning on writing a command line "mtgenmap" utility that'll generate the map outside of the game and spit it out to a map.sqlite file
18:54 hmmmm       you know how a couple weeks ago i was asking about generating a specified amount of map before entering a new world?  with this it could be as simple as running this program and communicating the status (% completed or w/e) with pipes and then on exit it'll start the game
19:20 OldCoder    celeron55, what is the mechanism used to respond to the survey?
19:20 OldCoder    Direct edit?
19:21 OldCoder    I'll comment as I become more qualified; I am starting to gather information
19:21 OldCoder    celeron55, ^
19:21 celeron55   i don't understand what you are asking :P
19:21 OldCoder    Abbout this part:
19:21 OldCoder    <celeron55> I request every developer-ish person to fill this long-looking but actually short thingy:
19:22 celeron55   i know you are talking about it, but what you are saying doesn't make sense
19:22 OldCoder    celeron55, I regret this, then. Please excuse me.
19:24 celeron55   just take a moment to answer it so that i know the people around better and can figure out who to put in charge in order to let development continue smoothly
19:25 OldCoder    celeron55, I am wondering if we are discussing different issues. I see an outline of possible changes to the software. I have started to gather information about exactly this. You seem to talking about something else. Please excuse my inability to follow what you are saying.
19:25 OldCoder    *seem to be
19:25 celeron55   wtf 8)
19:26 celeron55   why are you "gathering information" about something
19:28 OldCoder    celeron55, I've been gathering information about mods, ideas, etc., for a little while now. To help. This is what I've done for decades. I will return here after I consider. My situation is that I am productive but very tired. More tired than you might understand. Things like "wtf" related to communication are difficult for me. I communicate quite well with many people though.
19:29 hmmmm       WTF
19:31 celeron55   .....uuuuuum
19:34 thexyz      well, his manner of speaking is.. interesting
19:37 hmmmm       erm, it seems like he's trying to say that he's already been gathering feedback about where minetest needs to go et cetera
19:57 celeron55   well, i am not gathering feedback; i am gathering information about people 8)
19:59 sfan5[iPod] :D
20:00 hmmmm       stalker...!
20:00 sfan5[iPod] if you choose someone, do they get access to both repos or only if
20:00 sfan5[iPod] they checked the lua or c++ checkbox
20:00 hmmmm       'if you choose someone' - he has to choose someone or else minetest will be practically dead
20:01 sfan5[iPod] thats not what i ments
20:01 sfan5[iPod] *meant
20:21 celeron55   sfan5[iPod]: i haven't even thought about it like that
