New lead
New lead
Recently Yeha indicated that he doesn't have time to be the Spring lead developer anymore. I'd like to thank him for his work as lead on especially the 0.74 release series. He asked me whether I'd like to take over, which I initially refused because of lack of time.
I've been closely involved with many Spring things that Spring leads have done since the 0.70 release however and in practice I'll probably be doing the next few releases anyway, so it seems a bit more transparent if I officially become lead developer.

Giving the Linux side of spring as much polish as the windows side (lobby, installer maybe) should be the quickest route to getting free developers. Linux gaming is still quite the wasteland and i see much attention, praise and eventually contributions going to projects that are much behind spring in implementation and fun. Spring seems somewhat unknown and when its known, its always as an OTA-related project.
Yeah, I'm a Linux user. Spring on Linux is fine, just the Lua doesn't fully work, but i think that has been fixed for next version (tobi should know). The only thing missing is a stable and fully functional lobby, but it is getting there.BvDorp wrote:Any guys really into this Linux thing? Lobby seems more and more important.. I hope that gets finished sometime soon!
Linux, as you likely know, is pretty game starved, with a few notable exceptions. I would imagine that once a working lobby reaches the required feature set Linux interest should grow considerably as there is nothing like spring in terms of an RTS that I have seen. The Linux community shouldn't be underestimated
