+1 to Mike, but it also means someone has to agree to be the Dumses frontend keeper. Are you willing to be that person, Chris? On Tue, Oct 7, 2014 at 7:41 AM, John ZuHone <jzuhone@gmail.com> wrote:

My vote would be that if someone is willing to maintain a new frontend, then it should go in, so it keeps sync with the rest of yt.

All,
Are there any requirements/restrictions on what types of codes should be added as new frontends in the yt repository?
I ask because yesterday I wrote a frontend for a collaborator working with the Dumses code. As best I can tell, Dumses is a stripped-down version of Ramses, but without the AMR and with a completely different file format. Also, as best I can tell, only a handful of people (mainly at the CEA?) work on this code, and it is nigh-impossible to find any information on the interwebs about it.
Should I fold this new frontend into the main yt repo, or just give the users of Dumses the frontend code and let them do what they will? The former might pull in a couple more users/developers, but the latter would keep us from cluttering yt/frontends.
Chris
