I'm thinking it will be a huge undertaking, considering this for the original Carbonite code:
- all the code is arguably obfuscated (no idea if it was previously even more obfuscated the likes of Bejeweled)
- all the code is unindented
- the variable names are unintelligible
- lack of any comment lines
- everything is in one huge file of 26.000 lines
- around 60 leaking globals, including the underscore which taints the Glyph frame (until the next Live patch)
- license issues
I noticed Rythal already has done a lot of work to the fan update, localization and all (!) which is really great
But just trying to be realistic and constructive now, and looking from an addon author's point of view. Rythal already mentioned to be actively playing WoW and not having enough time to make it before MoP hits ..
I'm wondering though, is this is going to be a set of new projects written from the ground up, or a fork from Carbonite?
