Well I certainly hope so, but the call for participation already
started. It probably depends on how fast we get frab running and how
well the pentabarf import works.

I really don't know. I hope to meet him at FroScon, but I heard he's
going to be a dad.
Technically it would be easy to merge, though. (He could simply
fast-forward to my master branch. David did only a few commits this year
and I merged them all.) It's really a question about how tightly he
wants to control the code and the features and how much work he is still
willing to put into frab.
A common plugin system would help a lot, as we could keep a common core.
This was discussed here: https://github.com/oneiros/frab/issues/10
But even then, I've got a lot of fixes in the core, which he would had
to cherry pick. You can find a summary of my changes here:
https://github.com/katastrophie/frab/wiki/NEWS
I'll have to admit a lot of these originated from the necessity to make
SIGINT12 happen.
So if you're going to fork anyways, I'd definitely pick my fork.

I'm still waiting for confirmation from the FroScon team. I asked them
for a slot on Saturday. The idea of a developer meeting only occurred to
me a few weeks ago.

great:)

No there isn't. I could get one on mail.koeln.ccc.de and we could
collect mail addresses on the developer meeting.
kind regards,
