Have I struck a nerve? ;-)
I don't mean to offend, I don't know the reputation of SourceForge.
I WOULD like to get more people involved in FreeTrade however. I am really
just trying to think of ways to increase interest in FT. I was just on the
mysql.com site and after coming back to working-dogs, it was underwhelming.
The last News item (for FreeTrade) on the working-dogs site is 03/27/2000.
To the casual observer, there doesn't seem to be any activity.
I think it is a great tool kit and I am a bit disappointed that not more
people are working with/on it.
