well, if the existing project can not be updated it will just bitrot. the only issue really is how it affects users searching for fish. the sf project does not come up on at least the first 30 hits when i did a search for "fish shell" on google, so google searchers are unlikely to be misled there. they will find fishshell.org though. searching for link:http://sourceforge.net/projects/fish/ yields nothing, that means there are no other websites that point to the sourceforge project either. so the remaining concern is people searching directly on sourceforge. to help that, having another project (eg fishshell) might help, but it might not be needed. if they go to the current project they will find it points to a website that no longer exists, and hopefully continue their search. i just used the review feature to add a comment with the new website url, and maybe something similar can be done as an issue report, to make it show up at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fish/develop/ laird, maybe you have an option to edit the url in the summary. if not, which permissions do you have on the project? (can you respond to and close tracker issues, do you have tracker admin permissions?) and obviously, anyone who checks the mailinglist archive will find these messages. it is unfortunate that sourceforge is no longer handling takeover requests, but the only real dependency on sourceforge is this mailinglist. laird, you mentioned earlier that you would like others to take over mailing-list moderation. do you have rights to make others to list-admins? list administration appears to be quite standard mailman: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/admin/fish-users so there is a chance that you can make others to admins, regardless of their sf project membership status. currently there are 4 list owners and only alex is listed with an sf address. does anyone volunteer to help out with list moderation? greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer (open-steam|caudium).org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin iaeste.at realss.com Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
