Hello to my fellow developer MechWarriors!
I'm a software engineer and veteran Battetech fan who recently started playing the game again. Skunkwerks is clearly the best mech designer released to date, and many thanks to all who have worked so hard on the program. I too would like to improve the application and improve the community experience, but am not seeing the current source available for checkout.
Specifically, I noticed that the latest downloadable source is version 0.6.80 (2012-03-14)
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/sskunkwerks/files/sskunkwerks/SSW%200.6.80/SSW_0.6.80.zip/download
... and the actual downloadable application is on a higher version 0.6.83.1 (2014-09-11)
> http://www.solarisskunkwerks.com/downloads/SSW_0.6.83.1.zip
Can anyone here upload/link me to the latest source so I can contribute? I think there are a few areas than can be improved with only a few hours time: providing a real installer, allowing use of a native Apple look and feel (for Mac users), and a few tweaks to the UX. I'd be happy to provide patches or add a pull request with changes on github.

The latest version would be the 0.6.83.1 ( 2014 ) as the original author stopped doing anything with the program for whatever reasons. The program still has several things missing that other programs do have ( like LAM's for instance or super-heavy Mech up to 200 tons ) as options
I am interested in seeing this program revitalized. There are many components that i would add to it that i've had the files for and even put into my own personal copy of the program before but lost due to hard drive crash some years back.

I have a copy of the source files that include changes I have made to partially modernize the tech in the software. I recently change the logo on the Mech and vehicle sheets to reflect the latest BattleTech logo.
Where whould you like a copy of the source files?
