before it gets abandoned it better should be open sourced but:
  • wed/med source is useless (quake was almost 20 years ago!)
  • lite-c source!? who would work with that? a complicated incomplete c-compiler with chinese comments? there are many nice and tried languages with big open source communities out there.
  • the engine source could be useful but probably doing it like justsid and slin makes more sense than adding stuff like opengl support.
