OK, the LCD on my laptop decided to die on me during the middle of me posting this. I've got it hooked up to a monitor I used on an older desktop, so hopefully this time around IT won't die on me.
I created a branch on the GitHub repo for the further development of wxFRED. We're diving into unknown territory in regards to where the FRED code ends and the core engine fs2_open code begins, so hopefully by branching off we'll be able to do some things that would otherwise break standard FRED or necessitate major changes to the codebase.
If there are any objections to having the branch exclusive to the GitHub repo, I can just as easily make the branch on the SVN so that on the following Git/SVN sync it'll be on both.
Hopefully, the branch will allow us to figure out a good workflow on the GitHub repo, especially concerning the interaction between non-badged contributors and the fs2_open code base. It's common practice on GitHub for users to fork a copy of a particular repo and start working on their changes and ideas without worry of interfering with the owners/developers of the repo they forked. When said users feel they have something they want pushed/committed to the main repo, they issue a "pull request" which basically asks the owners/developers of the forked repo to "pull" portions of the user's fork into the main repo.
I remember chief mentioning something about external references being a potential problem for the build scripts?
