[scilab-Users] SOS: Version with Xcos usable for academic teaching??

[Nick Rudnick]

SIGH... Thank you for answering, Clément,

This gives hope... With at least mediocre Java & C/C++ knowledge, is 
there a way to assist you?

I would be interested in binaries for {Linux|Windows}{64|32} to be 
handed out to our students -- do you know of a nightly build of the past 
time that ran quite stable? I saw lots of new features (especially in 
regard of the GUI) at the current nightly build; maybe there is on 
without these, but running fine?

We are only doing introductory stuff, no specialties are needed -- 
others might also be interested in having a (temporary) link to a such 
release, I assume.

If the delay is as described by Ray -- do you already have a theory how 
this might be fixed, and can I support you in any way? I would love to 
contribute in making available these four binaries for 
{Linux|Windows}{64|32}...


All the best,

    Nick
