IronPython forks?
Fuzzyman reports that an active member of the IronPython community has released his own version of IronPython, containing various bug fixes and enhancements, because the IronPython team are apparently “unable to accept outside contributions”.
This is disappointing news. Hopefully, Microsoft will be able to sort out a better development model. IronPython is one of the most interesting things they’ve done lately, and it would be a shame if the project failed to build momentum simply because Microsoft couldn’t bring themselves to embrace an inclusive, community-driven approach to software development.
