Selon "Dr. David Kirkby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > As you are aware Pascal submitted an application to gain control of Scid.
Gain control would mean I wanted to "steal" (or something like that) Scid. That was far from being my intention. I wish someone else had done it. Kirkby can be glad, he nearly achieved to kill Scid at SF, but be sure it will live somewhere else, under the same name. So I will switch naming of my releases from scid-pg to scid as I have the right to. As chessDB is a fork of Scid (2004), and until anybody else is better placed than me to continue Scid, I request things to be strictly separated : given Kirkby's attitude, I hope he'll be honest enough to continue his fork in a strict separated way than mine : I deny him the right to use my own code, as I'll never use his own code (I never heard of a forking project whose that was in conflict with the mainline take code from the original). So few was done on chessDB that people requested a port of my features to chessDB. I never had any request to port things done in chessDB to my releases. That's a sign. I find interesting someone that is a true beginner in Tcl/TK programming (see his posting in newsgroups), and know nothing about Scid's internal denying someone that has been coding for Scid since 2003 the right to continue this project on sourceforge. So here is the status of Scid at SF : - author unavailable; - admins take 1 month to answer a mail; - files are nearly 3 years old. And someone is happy with that ! There are enough hosting sites for development (CVS, etc) to avoid the use of SF and have a naming conflict. So there will be a Scid ended in 2004 at SF and a Scid updated in 2007 somewhere else : sensible isn't it ? > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1658454&group_id=1&atid=200001 > > and have received this back: > > "I have marked the takeover request as denied (at least for now), and > mentioned both the sub-problems in the project's description." > > (I think he means sub-projects). > > Looking carefully one sees Scid's description > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/scid/ > > has now been changed to: > > "Scid is a chess database application (cross-platform, for Unix/Linux > and Windows) with many search and database maintenance features.
