I think all developers like GitHub. I mean, what's not to like. :)
I will definitely fork that, at least for now. When you say Swift code, you mean that Apple-centric language, right? I have always been afraid of that, since everything I write is usually meant to be cross-platform (especially with my recent change in development workflow and software).
I see/use/code many projects with Xcode stuff in them, my only problem being that Xcode doesn't run on Windows/Linux, and Mac VM's are extremely buggy, making projects with only an Xcode project (MacEmu, for example) harder to develop for other operating systems (even if the developer wants people to do so).
Most of my projects use to use makefiles exclusively, but like I said I recently changed a lot of my habits in regards to development. I usually use CMake, Visual Studio, and Qt Studio. Then I can compile for any system on any platform.
Most of that is my personal preference though. I think just moving the official project over to GitHub and changing the license could (at least potentially, and in my experience) get more people involved and therefore make the project easier to maintain, contribute, etc. I'm sure you know all of this though.
My least favorite part of PS1 emulators is the plugin system though. It makes it really hard for new users to get started and it makes it harder to debug issues. It makes the emulator more modular and sometimes it makes things easier or easier to get to, so it has pros and cons. But overall I think the PS1 hasn't gotten that much attention lately due to the PS2 and PS3 having backwards compatibility and having PS1 classics available on so many Sony platforms. But since PS Now kind of sucks and the PS4 doesn't have backwards compatibility, I think people will start looking for a PS1 emulator if they can't play it on a Sony system they have.
I just thought of something, why isn't ePSXe open-source as well? It seems like it could be a decent contender for PS1 emulators, but it is closed-source? That seems weird to me...they just released an update today, actually.
Anyway, I would like to know what edgbla, weimingzhi, ckain, gschwind, and notaz think. Unless they aren't active anymore. Although, I would hate to move to GitHub or something and have them be like "where is everybody?" I suppose we could provide a link on the CodePlex main page or something. Anyway, I digress.
