Hi,

I have some mixed feelings about this, but don't feel strongly enough to bother about it.

However, I really wonder whether this shouldn't be done after the planned switch to git. After all, at that point we can stop discussion whether development of an engine happens on or off trunk, as everybody can work on engines in their own personal (yet still public) fork, and the discussion really would be whether to merge the engine into the master repository. This way, the engine could be developed in the open and in collaboration (same effect as putting it into trunk nowadays), without us having to put an in-development engine right into trunk -- instead we could merge it only when we feel it is stable enough.

In other words, if we were using git, life would be a lot easier for all and every 3rd party or under-development engine, and we could in exchange allow to wait a bit longer before putting something into the official mainline version of ScummVM. 

Bye,
Max
