[BW-dev-discussion] Is it important to adopt a new framework before proceeding?

[Samuel]

Hello Team.
I'm in the list just for keep updated, and my experience in plain code is little, but
As i read over the time from BW coder and own other projects experience; I'm with Peter on this point:

Only cover bugs or minors in the old system.
Call to all coders (even the old volunteers) for sitting (virtually), and get the chance to rearrange or change as needed.
Reuse as much code from the old system to improve work time on the new framework, but never dropping the possible improvements on the name of time. (as we know the snow balls grow...)
I'm conscious that it is easy to talk when  my effort/time/even ego is not involve.

May be now is the opportunity to re make the tool as a (full) reusable open source application. 

In any case, Thanks to all codes involve to make BW possible.
LPGA.
