Or maybe not, as it already excludes the 1.5 users.>Maybe you should just use source?  There are two reasons not to: the practical, and the philosophical.  The practical side is that people would have the urge to startfiddling with the source, and I *really* can't spare the time to evenhear about their diffs, let alone use them, especially since I refactormercilessly so the code base changes rapidly.  And they would startfiddling with the source, because the only people who are likely to runit at this point are Python programmers.  I'd rather hear high-level suggestions; "stories" in ExtremeProgramming terms.  The philosophical side is that it's my code.  Yes, I believe in codeownership.  If I *choose* to give people access to my source, thenthat's fine but if I choose not to, then that's also fine.  Now, when itgets to a stable, basically finished state, I do plan to release it asopen source and start working on a multiplayer, server-side,browser-client version.  That's likely to be a year or so in the future,though.  Until then, it's going to be distributed as .pyo files (and Iwill take a very, VERY dim view of anyone decompiling them anddistributing the source, as that is a copyright violation and I can andwill take action; think how cranky I normally am, and then multipy thatby a factor of 10).  That I even have to *state* that indicates that a certain group ofpeople have really done a job of poisoning the well of softwaredevelopment.  I loathe and despise the communist types like St*llm*n whowant to prevent anyone from owning their own software.  Don't go there.  Not that I'm suggesting that you had that in mind, but those are theconsequences of "just use source".--  <a href="http://kuoi.asui.uidaho.edu/~kamikaze/"> Mark Hughes </a>"I will tell you things that will make you laugh and uncomfortable and reallyfucking angry and that no one else is telling you.
