Great, sounds good. I can take care of it, will probably get a new
release out yet today.

Hi Neil,
No problem. I appreciate your willingness to help. I've personally not
had much time for it lately (been too busy working and thinking about
the rewrite).
I think we need to update the About dialog and the README. What you are
saying sounds good. We can change to "Originally created by Hampus
Wessman" and add you as the current maintainer. Then you'll get proper
credits for your work too. I could fix that tomorrow.
I'll add a bug report for that bug I found. Would be nice if we could
have a new release out soon. I can spend a couple of hours on it too,
tomorrow.
As the current maintainer of 1.x, feel free to make new releases
whenever you think it's time ;)

Hi everyone, especially Hampus.
Sorry about the whole credit thing, it was something that I just
overlooked. My goal has always been just to update Metalink Editor
enough to keep it relevant and useful until your rewrite is done. I
liked what you had come up with and have a continued need for it. The
GUI is all still very much your code, I didn't want to presume credit
for that, but if thats OK with you then thats what I'll do.
So I propose that I'll update the About dialog (this is the first time
I've really looked at it). I'll add my name as the maintainer/current
developer and change the website to the sourceforge project. I'd like
to keep your name in there somehow to make sure you get credit for doing
the work of starting it. Maybe have you listed as a "created by" credit?
And as for bugs/features everyone just go ahead and put them in the
sourceforge tracker and I'll get to them for the next release.
I think that addresses everything.

I just removed the Metalink Editor 1.3.0 release from sourceforge.net.
It has at least one severe bug and states me as the only developer. Not
good. No hard feelings, but it's important for me that software with my
name on it works flawlessly (or contains bugs created by me). I think
this is the best solution for now.
If we want to create a new release (e.g. 1.3.1) of the python metalink
editor, I think we should change all information about the authorship so
that it's clear that I'm not responsible for all of the current source
code (and to give credit to everyone involved). We should also fix all
bugs of course. Right now it fails to save meta4-files (complains about
a comparison between an integer and a string). Some prior testing would
probably be good (like a release candidate).
I'm currently working on my new C++ Metalink Editor (finally have some
time for that!). Expect to hear more about that soon, once I've gotten
somewhere with it.

I just made releases of the following software that should be up to
date
with the v28 approved RFC draft. Ant already included the URL for web
conversion service, the other two products can be downloaded from the
sourceforge website:
- Web Conversion Service
- Metalink Checker
- Metalink Editor
https://sourceforge.net/projects/metalinks/files/

our Internet Draft/RFC appears to be done. now comes the fun part :)
there is quite a lot of software out there that supports metalink3.
here's what supports metalink4:
http://groups.google.com/group/metalink-discussion/web/internetdraft
aria2 (patch, ready for 1.9.0)
KGet?
metalink checker (used by GGet, which Neil has ported to Windows)
metalink editor
Neil's web converter (
http://www.nabber.org/projects/metalink/webconvert/ )
(note that all these probably need to be updated to the latest -28
draft, we changed a few names like<metaurl mediatype=""> (from
<metaurl type="">)& maybe something else since these were
implemented)
Peter is working on it for MirrorBrain. it'll nice to be test it out
with aria2/checker.
what other metalink enabled apps should we focus on short/mid term?
probably the generating apps, so people have a way to make the new
metalinks...
Bram's metalink tools?
libmetalink?
metalink-library?
