If there a need for a dev maillinglist I can setup one within a day. it would be based on mailman (which is any better than this majordomo thing :-)
alternative we can setup as a quickfix a forum (maybe dev only) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Mark Rogers Gesendet: Mittwoch, 29.

I think this bit here is the key. As far as I can tell, the dspam-dev list is broken, which *is* a big problem. It would perhaps help if someone set up an alternative dev list until the SN managed one is working - not having a forum for -dev talk is really not helping the project. Beyond that, as patches are posted it is likely that if SN don't incorporate them then someone will (for their own use) set up a code repository which includes the patches and (hopefully) make it available; from there, if the "unofficial" repository is more up to date then people will use that instead. To all intents and purposes that would be the start of a fork. On the other hand, maybe the same person would instead get access to the SN svn and maintain that instead; if so we have made progress without a fork. The decider will be whether that person finds it easiest to set up their own source repository or add to the official one, which in turn will be decided by how easy they find it to get write access to svn, how reliable that access is, etc, but could also just be decided on the basis they prefer git (or whatever) and set up their own repo anyway. Without a -dev forum, though, the development cannot proceed in a reliable way. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG !DSPAM:1011,490847c0150921893692706!
