Don't you think that it's a little bit overkill for such a litle project ? What if tomorow we must change again ? it can be difficult to find a trac hosting with svn... I'm +1 to try everything to stay at sourceforge. If cvs is not enough we can switch to bazaar-ng to never have problem about hosting and forking. Anyway i use adodbapi for a lot of professionals projects, i'm very happy to see that i'm not alone :-) -- William Dode - http://flibuste.net _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
