Dear GTKWave users,
  as usual, apologies for not being attentive to questions on
the list and for not releasing further snapshots of GTKWave.

I spent last year, and will be spending the foreseeable future,
working for a university spin-out start-up company, Silistix.
Me and a number of friends had been trying to form the company
for about 3 years and finally got it together in Dec 2003.

I think it's about time I layed my cards on the table.
I really don't have any time to devote to GTKWave and so am
giving up maintaining and developing the package.

The APT group will continue to host the GTKWave page for the
time being until a new maintainer/developer steps forward. I've
recommended to them that they fork GTKWave for their own use
(with Balsa) as I don't think anyone at the university wants
to immediately take over the project.

Anyone interested in maintaining and developing GTKWave 2 can
contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll act as go-between for
them with the university (for linking the /apt/../gtkwave to
their own space).

Sorry to bail out before 2.0 is gold but I feel that an
enthusiastic maintainer with a pressing need for a good waveform
viewer could really make something of GTKWave 2.  I'm afraid
that I'm no longer enthusiastic enough or in enough pressing
need.

Your (former) GTKWave 2 maintainer
