I agree with Olaf's assessment of the steps to take to move forward. Based on Olaf's talents and vision for the project, I also propose that he should be the project "leader", insofar as we need someone to keep the project on task, and to have a final say in terms of controversial decisions and what gets committed to the main branch. Or are we looking to employ a more democratic approach?

That said, I still have more questions at this point.

Is the plan then to get started with a Git repository for the new VB6 programmed IDE project?

What methodology should we have for accepting code modifications to the main branch? Should any particular developer interested in contributing create their own branch for making their own changes, which can then be merged into the main branch if accepted?

Do we need some kind of coding standards document? We need to agree on naming conventions, how many space characters a tab should represent, etc...?

What is the vision for the look of the IDE? Are we trying to replicate the old VB6 IDE, or create something new?

Is the plan to use vbWidgets for the UI? If so do we need more widgets developed first before we have everything we would need to create an IDE?
