Really best to start a new thread with a new subject rather than change topics 
on an existing.

Its not just mine, its a sentiment that has existed for years, shared by many. 
Though allot have moved on. Also do not confused developer/maintainer with 
author. People have taken over development of ASSP, but they are not the 
original Author, John Hannah. I suspect if they were still around things would 
have been broken up long ago. 

I did not put the comments on Wikipedia. I was not part of the past discussion 
of splitting up ASSP. I do not believe there are many currently contributing 
to ASSP development. This could be the main reason why. Anyone can participate 
in the development of ASSP, but I do not believe many other than Thomas are 
these days.

What might the reason be for lack of interest in helping to develop or further 
ASSP?

Not pushing, Thomas is a volunteer, he will do what he wants, as most 
volunteers do. But sometimes what one volunteer does can put off others, and 
limit contributions, points of view, discussion, direction of the project etc.

Dictatorship vs community lead project. I believe ASSP is the communities not 
any one persons, no matter who wrote the code, currently maintains it, or is 
looking to further it.

In the past this lead to 2 different releases of ASSP. Fritz release and the 
community. Many projects do fracture or fork. I would not want to see that 
happen to ASSP. I would also like to see others contributing to ASSP so the 
entire load is not falling on Thomas.

If Thomas gets bored with ASSP and moves on, who will take over? Lucky Thomas 
remained when Fritz moved on, but if Thomas was not around when Fritz moved 
on... If you use and depend on ASSP as I have for a long time. This may be of 
concern.

Discussion is what brings about change. But again most of these are not coming 
from me. I am just the one bringing it up in the present. Others brought it up 
in the past, and have since moved on. That is not good for ASSP, nor its 
future.

Look at how active things were in the past
