Many of you may have heard me telling a lot of tall tales on Freecell
Solver, which is my most active pet project. Open-Source Projects are not
just about code. They are also about the people who use them. My lecture's
theme would be how people and my code helped each other.
I will talk about the various people who contacted me in regard to
Freecell Solver, what they thought about it, the problems they had, the
requests, and how it eventually affected the development of FCS. I will
talk about changes that I made to the code, even such that I thought on
my own, but it will also cover how other people regarded them.
I don't think it is off-topic. We already had a lecture about
Sys-call-track and this lecture has a similar theme.
I cannot promise that I finish the lecture in any given time, so don't
hold your breath for it. I just like to know in advance if people would
find it interesting.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish

He who re-invents the wheel, understands much better how a wheel works.
