David, Thanks for all of your outstanding work here.
The Exhibit / Timeline projects are excellent libraries and their usage will continue to grow. I would like to assist in providing documentation for this project. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Huynh Sent: Monday, February 18, 2008 11:16 AM To: General List Subject: My departure + the future of Timeline and Exhibit Hi all, As you might know, I have recently finished my Ph.D. study, and within a few months I'll be moving on to a "real job" at Metaweb. The Metaweb folks have been kind to let me dedicate some time toward open source involvement, which means that I can continue to work on Timeline, Exhibit, etc. to some extent. However, it is clear that I won't be able to dedicate as much time to those projects as I can right now. So, it is crucial that we arrange for more people to get involved in those projects so that those projects continue to thrive. One possibility is to move the code bases onto an open source foundry, such as Google Code, and invite the more programming capable among yourself to maintain and improve them further. Note that this solution is even better than the current situation, as there will be more capable people involved than just me alone. Together we'll work out the knowledge transfer, etc. etc. over the next few months. Please don't hesitate to chime in here if you have other ideas or just want to speak your mind. The worst thing that can happen is that nobody expresses their concerns, no transition gets made, and the good code just withers away. Thanks, David _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
