Hi,
I requested the take over of Scid at sourceforge. I will see if this
works (Scid is already flagged as APT = Abandoned Project Takeover)
I did it because latest downloadable files are from 2004 and Shane and
admins are unavailable, except martin skjoldebrand that seems really
busy and/or wi

I do not understand why there are two efforts underway.
Specifically, Pascal, I do not understand why you have decided
to start your own effort. As far as I can tell, Dr. Kirby is

So, suppose shane never updates Scid : then Scid is a dead project, right ?
Suppose there are forks (any fork is insane for me in open source

So if I understand well you propose 2 scenarios :
S1 :
Scid -> let it die
2 forks :
Pascal do you have a Sourceforge ID number associated with your request?
I would like to make a formal objection. It seems I'm not the only one
to feel it is inappropriate.
I feel Michal Rudolf's proposal, or links to the two projects is a good
one.

Suggestion: link to both A and B from Scid. Wait some time and see how both
projects are doing. If one is doing better (development pace/users) put it

As a low-activity member of this list (ie "lurker"), I would request
that Pascal and David do their best to sort out their differences. Each
