Hi! First of all I did not manage to subscribe for this list for whatever reason till now (was always refused or did not get any answers from the listrobot but now it seems to work) so I was not able to follow the discussion (still I've not found a way to access the archives <grrr>)...

As far as I can see you're discussing wether the scid 3.6.x-Forks of Pascal should go to sf. For me as a user here I'd strongly support this! I could only encourage Pascal here. He did some really great work and I did find it only by chance yesterday cause I was recompiling my chess software and was searching for the b2-patches that where once upon a time found on http://scid.skjoldebrand.org/ I did not find them but Pascals code and I'm really impressed. (So actually I stoped searching the old patches ;) And his stuff is good, it would be a pitty if it would be lost again. > But of course I agree with you that it would be much > better to just work on the existing project. A pity if > someone is blocking you out... :-( This would be the best, indeed. Anyway even registring a new project as something like scid2 or whatever stating clearly on the page that it is a subsequent development of <...link...> as the original author is not reachable and that it might fuse again with scid would be very helpfull for the users community. Just to find the project... Really I did just find the new code by pure chance after quite some research for the patches I knew that they once existed. So, Pascal, put it to SF! For me and others to be able to find it. It could merge again to scid if possible at some day. But unfortunatley the last message from scids webpage did not even make me expect that there is new development. So I was really suprised. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Universitaetsbibliothek Ilmenau Langewiesener Str. 37 98693 Ilmenau Tel.: 03677/69-4521 , Fax.: 03677/69-4617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
