A fork implies new functionality or some philosophical difference. Neither is the case here.
In this case, Terminal had not even been capable of being compiled without some modification for about 2 years since it had a few very simple errors in it's source code which (to my knowledge) are still uncorrected. I didn't see this as a fork so much as a continuance of maintenance. Both Riccardo and I naturally had assumed it was dead, so we took it over. We will discuss a name change to avoid confusion, if you are going to continue to maintain the existing version in Backbone.

How about changing the name of GAP's fork of Terminal? The original is maintained software, and renaming a fork is generally considered to be the right thing to do. -- | Jeff Teunissen -=- Pres., Dusk To Dawn Computing -=- deek at d2dc.net | GPG: 1024D/9840105A 7102 808A 7733 C2F3 097B 161B 9222 DAB8 9840 105A | Core developer, The QuakeForge Project http://www.quakeforge.net/ | Specializing in Debian GNU/Linux http://www.d2dc.net/~deek/ _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
