Idea? Well, more utopia (in every meaning)

Consider ETpro being something open source like Debian.org or kernel.org where people could post there sources and community would accept what they want in that mod.

The good side would be 'maybe' faster development of game (although it's pretty much enveloped since ET 1.0).

Better understanding of lacks and bugs and faster dealing with them.

Again, community would rise a little off the dominance of organizations like Clanbase (I'm not saying that CB is dominant in rules, although sometimes they do silly things).

You would have an opportunity to realize some of you're ideas for ET, although community would decide whether they'll use it or not.

More experiments what could be better.



The bad side (though it's little longer than good one :))

Lack of maturity (whines, flames, bla bla bla...)

Could again divide the community

None would give a shit (sometimes) for you're ideas (like for this one :))

Bugs (although they'd be faster gone but again read the first bad thing)

and so on (read: more than dozens of things)


Well, I'm not saying that Bani and ETpro team are doing a bad job, they're doing a great job and they're really open for ideas, bug reports and etc. But when you look at the development of some freaking Tux (linux), you'd see that past few years development is on warp 9. The reason why Microsoft is also developing faster is profit, and the developers are payed for what they do.

OK, enough of writing dump this text I'm just GNU inspired. :)

not a bad idea, but i dont know if it works.

But I love opensource
I think the people with the talent to mod and the people with the passion to mod are pretty much all in the ETPro team already. Its not like its apparent that they're excluding other coders
wise words for this tall guy :o

pretty sure the etpro team will never release their source to the public
I don't think there will be any more major ETPro updates...
I think butzeks could be allot of fun.
