Hello

Geeqie has been my favorite image viewer for a long time, but I'm 
troubled by the status of the project.

First there is the multiple dead websites issue. There is
http://www.geeqie.org/
and there is also
http://geeqie.sourceforge.net/
These are almost identical, and both appear to be quite dead. For 
instance, the front page of both reads:
"Geeqie is currently short before releasing stable release 1.0"

Then there is the status of the project itself. The project looks dead, 
and most people think it is. When one looks for the code, one ends up at 
this very slow to load page
https://sourceforge.net/p/geeqie/git/commit_browser
The latest commit appears to be from 2011-01-14.
The SVN repo's latest commit is from 2010-05-10.
The latest download there is from 2012-08-13, it's version 1.1, which is 
peculiar because the website says that 1.0 hasn't been released yet.

But if, for some reason, one keeps digging, one might end up here
http://www.geeqie.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=geeqie.git
Clearly still alive. But it lacks any way of getting in contact with 
you. When I click on the developers, I see their commits, but not way of 
getting in touch.

And so on.

This is all very bad for users as well as for potential new developers, 
and so bad for Geeqie itself.

I run the RawTherapee project as best I can:
www.rawtherapee.com
https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee
I don't know if this email will reach the right people, I really have no 
idea how to get in touch with the active developers, but if I do, I 
propose to help improve this situation.

Are you interested?

Kind regards
DrSlony
