Hi Chris
It's not unmanageable. In fact, it's very common to have multiple
developers working on the same code base simultaneously. The developers
need to follow an agreed set of processes, tools and steps but it's done
quite regularly. In fact, it's really important to enable multiple devs as
otherwise what happens when someone gets hit by a bus?

I think it would be unmanageable to have several people all tinkering away
on their own. I believe that there is an enormous amount of code which
would need to be coordinated, catering for both versions of the Tango,
although I do know that a lot of it is common to T1 and T2.
I would certainly be happy to pay for ongoing updates.

… which brings up a couple of questions in my opinion :
- if there are changes / enhancements made to the source code, shouldn’t
they be available to the whole community ? At least on a ‚own risk‘ base ?
- Shouldn’t the source code be available to everyone who thinks he/she
can use it for enhancements of their own Tango installation ?
- Wouldn’t it be great if we could do something like a ‚community
project' where programmers are willing to work on a certain part part to
fix problems or get the software to support current DAW functionalities ?
I don’t think this is a easy task and sure time consuming but might be of
value to a lot of us remaining Tango users.
Since I haven’t had the chance to look a the code, I cannot tell (for
myself) if it would be do-able.
AFAIR there once was a discussion about hiring a programmer to make the
Tango software up-to-date product that everyone having a Tango can use.
Maybe not for free, but we all like our Tangos and would like them to be
a tool for us as well in the future.
I know of other communities where a couple if the members are developing
soft- and hardware and make them available to everyone.
What do you guys think ?

Hi James,
Jan can be contacted at janmorgenstern.com.
I know he did some work on the source code for his Tango-2 which also
worked on my Tango-1.

Hi All
I have recently had a Tango fall in my lap and I'd like to have a look
at the source code if at all possible. I can see a few threads that mention
the code is being managed by Jan Morgenstern. Would it be possible for
someone to connect me with him please?
I have over 25 years experience as a c++ programmer working in
distributed environments and I am wondering if I can be of assistance with
the maintenance of the system.
James
