This is a message so that you don't lose hope quite yet. I've mailed directly to Claude saying that I was *thinking* about take up the challenge of bringing CTWM further.
I'm still thinking, and I must weigh in the needs of other projects (I'm one of the developpers pf OpenSSL, and probably one of the more active ones) and family. I must say that the offers of pay are quite encouraging, and if that is a reality (I'm sorry, I don't mean to be suspicious, it's just that I've never been payed for freeware work before. so I'm stumbling a bit, and I need to be a little cautious), working on CTWM will most probably be a reality for me. As I'm writing, I'm thinking I need to get the picture, so I think I'll ask Claude to send me all versions he has a copy of (I want to make sure I have as much history as I can), or point at a URL, and I'd like to get all proposed patches he has available. I'll go back into my mail archive and reread all I can so I can see the development as it has been going on the last year or so (I've been very much a lurker). After that, I'll set up a CVS repository with all those versions and we'll go from there. I'm thinking I could do maintainance for a while to kind of feel it out. If I still like it in, say, half a year, I'll keep the "job", otherwise, I'll reassess the situation at that time. Claude, does that sound like a plan? What say the rest on this list? As for a home, I will hopefully have something set up today... If not, I might take up the offer from whoever that was, at least for a while.

Can I find out what those demands are from earlier mail, or can anyone give me a recap? -- Richard Levitte | http://richard.levitte.org/ | Spannv. 38, I Levitte Programming | http://www.lp.se/ | S-168 35 Bromma T: +46-708-26 53 44 | | SWEDEN "Price, performance, quality... choose the two you like"
