Ok, I just received this (probably automatic) email message from "Jeff Covey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" about talking care of the Cocoon entry in FreshMeat.
Now, let me say I don't use Freshmeat even if I'm a big fan of it and it is a shame, IMO, that Cocoon is ranked as shit while Avalon is ranked 5th (yes, people, 5!!) in the whole freshmeat tree. [well, having started both, I'm very proud anyway, but I'm kinda sad for Cocoon's rating] But this is mainly due to the fact that I *never* *ever* updated that entry... mainly because I didn't even enter it. The story is that some other user (back in the Cocoon 1.3/1.4 days) submitted the entry and went away. Without even telling us! I had to go thru hoops with the freshmeat guys to change the maintainer of that entry to me and remove that person (I don't even remember who he was). Now, I'd be *VERY* happy to pass over the hand to somebody else who is willing to keep the project entry alive and not vegetating as it is right now. This should be done along with Cocoon 2.0 final to show the renewed development life of this project. What do you think? any committer volunteering for this? jeff covey wrote: > > I'm writing in reference to the project "Cocoon". > > Your email address listed as the contact address for this project on > our listing at: > > http://freshmeat.net/projects/cocoon/ > > You may have submitted this project to us yourself, or someone who > uses your project may have done so.
