Re: PDF Performance

Git seems to be the "up and comer" in the Open Source project world. I haven't looked into using it yet, although I have a Github account. It seems unnecessarily obtuse on some things, but, it was probably developed by the *NIX bit twiddler types... :-)

I wish I had a better way to manage changes and host the project. I
know at one time you were working with SVN for managing RPG source
changes for projects like this. How did that/is that working out?

I would encourage using a _distributed_ versioning system instead of
subversion, simply because this removes the need for having a central
server for things to work.

Based on the discussions on Stack Overflow, there are currently three
big players. Mercurial (used by Sun), git (used by Linus) and Bazaar
(used by Ubuntu owner). Each have strengths and weaknesses.

Netbeans have well baked-in mercurial support (Sun eats their own dogfood).

We are looking into git, and dipping the toe on github.com. There is a
reasonable Eclipse plugin, and it appears to be available on AIX so it
can run in PASE.
