Hi Sven,
You raised all the points which I already mentioned to Michael Schnell -
why I think EpikTimer should NOT be in the FCL.
* FPC has too a slow release cycle
* No need to burden the FPC team with supporting yet another component
* It will reduce the possibility for experimentation and easy
contributions from others.
* EpikTimer contains more than just a single unit. The other files
don't belong in FPC. So why fragment the project's source code.
I'm perfectly happy where EpikTimer is now. If anybody wants to use it
in a project, download and use it. If anybody wants to contribute, then
send a pull request or patches.
I also told Michael S. that if he does submit a patch to the FPC team (I
can't stop him), make sure it has a different name, so as not to
conflict with the official EpikTimer component.
Just my 2c worth.
Regards,
Graeme
