Merging Lazarus and FPC

The purpose of this page is to discuss how far Lazarus and FPC should be merged. This isn't a democratic vote but a place for the developers to collect their opinions.

Website

Yes. Avoids user confusion and reduces administration when it's done --FPK 11:26, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

Yes, but consider something like "1 company, 2 products" - people not interested in GUI stuff (for whatever reason) should be still able to find "their" product easily. --xhajt03 15:22, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

Forums

Yes. Saves administration work and makes it easier for users to find the right place to ask. --FPK 11:26, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

Bug tracker

Not sure. --FPK 11:26, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

Good idea. With mantis you can easily define projects and move issues between projects. -- Vincent 14:48, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

Common core mailing list

No, creates too much noise. But introduce a new list lazarus-fpc-core for people being involved in things affecting both projects. --FPK 11:26, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

No, but make it possible for more people to post to lazarus-developer list. -- Vincent 14:51, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

Wiki

Yes, saves administration work --FPK 11:26, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

Yes -- Vincent 14:49, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)

Releases

No, requires too much coordination, already getting the FPC releases within a reasonable time frame is hard. --FPK 11:26, 15 Jan 2006 (CET)
