Could everyone please just settle down? You all are so worried about moving the project to a new location, but there does not seem to be any immediate need for that. Ftp access and anonymous CVS access to nmh still work. Take what source exists and actually work on some patches instead of worrying about your CVS commit access. Back around December people got all excited talking about a new release, rolling in patches that are floating around, and taking care of issues in the TODO file, but I have not seen >any< progress on that front. Until people start to do some real work, moving the repository so that it can just continue to be neglected elsewhere seems silly to me. By all indication Doug Morris seems to be reasonable, and if he wishes to still host nmh let him. Just give him sometime to fix up his system(s). If after some reasonable amount of time, and after people have done the work to organize existing patches and submit new ones Doug Morris has still not fixed things then we can look elsewhere. People have mentioned SourceForge and Savannah... If I had to choose between the two of those I would go with Savannah. VA Software has been downsizing nonstop it seems, and SourceForge seems to be suffering due to that. The other option would be find another home similar to mhost.com. I suspect various people would be willing do this. Having either a dedicated machine or a FreeBSD jail would give the nmh project a lot more flexibility with how things can be run. I for one could certainly allocate a jail on a machine of mine which is well hosted by my employer. It might even be possible to dedicate an entire machine, but I would have to think about that. At any rate the first step should be to get some actual development going. Until a critical mass of patches shows up on this list or nmh-bugs I think the "moving nmh" discussion should be put on hold. -- Doug Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
