Hmm, Google doesn't show me any evidence of MS having assimilated him. ;-) If it's the same Henrik Ekelund, he seems to be CEO of the BTS Group in San Fran and a board member of several European companies: http://www.prodapt.com/about_prodaptteam.htm . Maybe he's just extremely busy. Regardless, he seems to have lost interest in this project. > Sourceforge seems have a policy for other volunteers taking over an > inactive project.

I agree we should definitely get ahold of the Sourceforge project if we can, but, in my ideal universe, I'd still go with a Trac setup and just point the Sourceforge page to it. Trac has a much better UI than Sourceforge provides, and Subversion is a significant improvement over CVS (I'm a CVS refugee myself). I'm willing to host it for free on my dedicated server, which would give us the most power and flexibility. If that scares people, python-hosting.com offers the same thing for free, at the price of a more restricted environment. (Example: http://cherrytemplate.python-hosting.com/) For anyone who hasn't played with it, here's the ultimate example of a Trac environment: its own self-hosted development site at http:// projects.edgewall.com/trac/ . (It's got some cruft and ads that I would leave out, of course.)
