Whomaintains it? If it is orphaned it should perhaps I think its totally abandoned, I found a tarball on the wayback machine, and I think some Linux distros still have packages for it. Don't know who is the author, and whether he is still around. But the last time I looked into it, sometime last year, it was generally working. I still have a large bunch of patches around to compile it without warnings. Then it was also able to connect to NNTP Servers. It had some problems with showing some message right, with regard to the encoding of the messages.

GNUstep non-fsf would be just another SW project where I need to maintain access ... I still think that all those GNUstep apps should not be scattered too much over the web. Having one site where you find "most", like an App Store ;) Abandoned bitrotted Apps, scattered all around the web, do not put a good light on GNUstep as a whole. In a central repository like GAP, others could take over if the main developer looses interest in the App. Even if not developing it further, I think just taking care to let the app not bitrot, is very important. See the success of the Apps we added to GAP over the last year. But that's probably only matter of personal taste, and I may run against walls here, but still trying from time to time to get trough ;) cheers, Sebastian > > Riccardo _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
