Re: Re: Digi's treatment of Rabbit products

Peter,

It would be great if you and other developers would make use of GItHub's features for opening issues and sending pull requests.

My recommendation would be to fork the repository, and then create a separate branch with each fix/change/improvement you'd like to see included in Dynamic C.  Create pull requests for each fix and I'll review them.  I may ask for you to make some changes before including it, or might decline to accept it if it's not general enough or has the potential to break existing code.

My consulting agreement with Digi allows for a certain amount of discretionary time every month for community support.  I'm not looking to take direct support requests, but responding to pull requests and issues opened on GitHub would be a great use of that time.

Some of these I've fed back to Digi and they have made it into the libraries and examples (the uCos stack issue and improvements to the FTP client libraries) but others were not due to time constraints.

This means I have to take time to put together a sample based on a BL4S100 or other board from my collection when I want to submit a fix or a problem.
