Hello list, and hello Sherm,
1. That sucks. I am sorry to hear you feel that way. Not because of
CamelBones but because you sound depressed. I know you have been looking
for work - have you found any? A mailing list is not the best forum for
this kind of discussion perhaps, but I hope you feel better, you should
be proud of CamelBones.
2. I would be happy to maintain it. It would be a really interesting
project. I have been working with it for a bit, long enough to point out
known bugs at least. :) I am certain there are more qualified CamelBones
hackers out there, but I am familiar with it and it is something I like
working on. Plus I do some packaging for debian and I know a bit about
the internals of Mac OS X.
3. I think some kind of team maintainership is good. If Tom wants to
work on it, cool. If others want to work on it, cool. We do this in the
debian perl group and while it is more obvious how to share
responsibility when you are working on lots of packages, I still think
there is a way to work it out with something like CamelBones as well.
4. It is really important, I feel, that this project lives on. This is
one of the better ways to build graphical interfaces on the Mac.
