I really don't want to go political now, but I feel I have to. So, please don't let this come to an argument about this (because I apreciate your response and pointers); but:
fgmembers is still a hostile fork of fgaddon, still not giving anything back to the FGcommunity (read fgaddon). We had this (bad) discussion on the devel list last year or so, which resulted in fgmembers. And all that happened is a pull from fgaddon and zero feedback from fgmembers.
I don't see it as a one way road.

You shouldn't try to twist my words around, Hooray. The fact that you sometimes try manipulative games doesn't mean you are good at it ... actually you are rather embarrassing when you try.

Now back to my plane in work ...
which kinda proves the point of the whole discussion - simply because it is also up to you whether you are willing to maintain your work in other, 3rd party places/hangars, or not - as well as being your decision whether you want to collaborate with others using/re-using your work for other purposes, including possibly those that may compete/conflict with your own idea of future development, such as using a different FDM engine, different 3D model etc - or even making changes that may be/become incompatible with your own efforts, no matter that is in terms of code/XML or the infrastructure you're using, or the degree of end-user support you are willing to provide.
PC Windows users dominate, also considering the demographics of his research, that a good portion of these users are also on either Win7 32 bit or even Win XP.
I'd also would request Thorsten to consider when discussing his differences with fgmembers that he at least, when 'quoting' what was said, in hind-sight, that the context of the discussion be remembered.

There have been shots fired across the bows from both sides.

How so?
Let's leave aside the fact that the FGMEMBERS organizers have several times stated their goal to put FGAddon out of business (I seem to remember words like 'slaughter' being used) for the moment and ask the simple question - when has something ever come back so far?
