The matter is open in all cases. There are several points to consider: * the git repository is now hosted by qt.gitorious.org - who, which company, hosts this right now? Is this hosting mode sustainable for the foreseeable future? * we need a real, workable, issue tracker, and SourceForge's one is not one of them; ideally we want Atlassian Jira (believe me on that), and this has to be hosted somewhere; * this mailing list: it is hosted by Trolltech right now; qt-jambi has been "given" to the community, but as to the mailing list, how long will it be hosted? In any case, one thing only can untangle all of this mess: money... Either "ours", or a third party's. Gregor Mückl (who hosts Monnlight3d, which uses qt-jambi) told me on IRC that there _might_ be a possibility. Might. It's not a certainty and I certainly understand it: he has limited means. As we all do. And even if we have the hosting, the administration side of things remain. However, I am up to that particular task, it is my job, along with managing build systems (no wonder I have worked on this particular side of qt-jambi :p) But people's time taken to handle these task is time (money) they cannot spend elsewhere. Whatever. I can, have, and will, work off-hours for administration/maintenance. Provided the hosting is there... -- Francis Galiegue, [email protected] "It seems obvious [...] that at least some 'business intelligence' tools invest so much intelligence on the business side that they have nothing left for generating SQL queries" (Stéphane Faroult, in "The Art of SQL", ISBN 0-596-00894-5) _______________________________________________ Qt-jambi-interest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-jambi-interest
