MojaviBuilder To Go Semi Open Source?
I’m thinking about making MojaviBuilder semi open source. If I do go with my idea I’ll get a Subversion hosting account with SVN-Hosting.com for $5 a month and up load the current source code for MojaviBuilder which will act as the central repository.
Then if any developers wish to get the source code to make a port to Java, etc. or anyone wishes to make chanegs then they can request an account from me to allow them access to the code.
I must point out that this is only an idea. Please also bear in mind that I will be paying for this out of my own pocket. If you feel strong that I should go ahead with this idea then please leave a comment.

Hi Gringod,
I just checkout your tool. This is killer! Great job. I totally think you should make this open source and in fact I would love to contribute. I would be interested in seeing the source and perhaps port this to Java’s swing. One advantage to doing this thing in swing, is that I think it might save a lot of work in the long run. This way you wouldn’t have to worry about developing in GTK and .NET, just swing. Anyway, I’ve done some simple swing stuff before and it shouldn’t be too hard to do the port.
Hi Rooster
Thanks for the comment. I have thought about re-writing this app in Java, there is just one thing that hold me back… I not too hot at Java and one thing I don’t want is this project escaping from me. There has been a discussion on the Mojavi forums about the openness of Mojavi (I assume you’re the same Rooster?) and I feel the same as feti.
Because of this I would like MojaviBuilder to continue to be written in .NET.
If you’re not scared off by this please drop me an email (aidy at gringod dot com) and I’m sure I could arrange to get you a copy of the .NET source files.
