Let's look forward and help all that this does not happen again. It is then also your task to respond to other people's suggestions.

Please do also have a look into the developers list http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jdbforms-developers and subscribe. You'll get messages about cvs updates and, although this list was not thought for that, there have also been some discussions.

I cannot speak for others, but this is how I think it should be: - write a detailed proposal to the list - let's talk about it, welcome comments and other types of inputs - write a documentation, post it again - do the coding work - upload it to cvs yourself - document your changes We should also try to coordinate our cvs access using the list in order not to interfere with each other. Please take thread [dbforms] foreign key support in dbforms: comments please (2002-10-11) ending in [dbforms] Foreign Key support: First Draft of documentation (2002-10-17) as an example how this could be. Eric is currently working on implementation. Henner has done his search extension in a similar way. We should welcome anything that is - useful (- backwards compatible) - well documented - offered to be discussed I think we can agree on that. And surely you would need cvs write access, if you are going to contribute code regularly. The cvs on sourceforge site is not closed, I have not seen Joe refusing to authorize someone. And I can't imagine a better home than sourceforge for a project like this. If someone wants to update the website, it is also better to ask Joe for help than to setup another site.
