i respect your decision but i think this is a suicide for MWS, the main strenght of the program is the great number of users, so i can't understand why you want rewrite a new program.
I'm the webmaster of one of the most important italian magic site, now we are using MWS for our on-line leagues, but if you'll not develop MWS anymore we'll have to change program, cause now MWS don't menage the new INNISTRAD mechanic "Transform".
So the natural step is to choose http://cockatrice.de/index.php?a=project a new open source program that works pretty good, that will be developed forever.
Thank you for your work in these years.
Hi Detonator,detonator http://www.magi-soft.com/forum/viewtopi ... 593#p48593 wrote:A lot user like to use open source software, but not many programmers like to do it. Usually it is students who live for parent's money or some programmers who have paid job and spend freetime to opensource as hobby.
If you have time and skills - please write your software and make it as open source.
Last years I had additional job except MWS, but in March I lost it. And now MWS is only money source for my family, it's why last monhs I force development of my new software (http://virtualplaytable.com) to supersede MWS and now I'm working at home fulltime to finish it. I can't make it opensource or free, else I should move to other city to find any other job for my and will not interesting in support mws or other software at all.
