As Jani I'm on this list since several years. For every fork talk, something is missing: People saying "I will do". Please stop offering hosting etc. This doesn't matter imho. What is missing (and it was missing for every single fork thread in the past) is developers. So if you are no developer, there is not much you can do. Any successful fork will need developers which do the hard work without immediate gains. So I think a successful fork will 'just happen' by someone who develops for his own and send patches. If there are enough patches floating around, someone will set up more infrastructure. And don't bet on the hope that 'maybe not everyone is informed'. Getting real developers (and not 'web developers') which can code C with high quality is extremly hard. So either there are people on this list which do just start or DSPAM will be frozen like the last years. fs PS: Don't get me wrong - I would really like to see more development activities. But don't be naive: A successful fork is very hard and as a non-developer you probably underestimate the effort needed by a factor of 10. !DSPAM:1011,49075255150925852358820!
