Weapons Delivery Planner Code

Originally, I had planned on just writing an email to Falcas from his website, but I figured to show more support of his awesome work, I would post it here:
Falcas, great work on your tools such as WDP. I had a question about the development aspect of it. In looking in the forums, I see that sometimes people report an issue, and then they just need to wait on a fix from you. Since this is freeware, it’s completely up to you as to when you want/have time to fix the issue. Herein comes my suggestion: have you considered hosting the code on github (or some other online code repository)? You could lock it down so only you could commit official changes to your codebase, but allow people to fork the code, fix issues for you as they arise, and submit pull requests back to your code base, where then you could either approve or deny them.
With so many people using this tool, I bet you would get a big following, and find people who are more than willing to help make the codebase very robust. With the fact that Falcon 4.0 is a very technical simulation by nature, I bet there are a lot of people here with
- the technical skills needed, and
- the time (if they have enough time to learn this game they have enough time to help)
Do you think this would at all be possible?
Thanks!
P.S. Anyone else please feel free to chime in with an “I’ll help”, or “rsparkyc, you’re completely off base. Go crash your jet into the ground!”

And if it wasn’t obvious, I would be more than happy to help you set this up.
-
I would contribute to it if it were available.
-
Could be a great idea. That’s how majority of open source projects get really big and robust
-
Great idea, it would be fantastic to have the source to such an important tool available.
Cheers, Uwe

its possible Im completely off track here, but I was under the impression that WDP was in development by Falcas in conjunction with BMS as an integral part of the software.
If that supposition is the case, then I would imagine chances of Falcas making WDP open source would be right up there with BMS becoming open source.

That may be, I’m not really sure. Some clarification from either Falcas or the BMS team would be awesome.

Hi,
I appreciate that people like the tools, but the code will not be made availible.
Yes one reason is that it includes code for the latest BMS.Gr Falcas
