Re: [Tn5250j-general] TN5250J in WDSC/RDi
Roberto, Perhaps Sourceforge can help you contact Kenneth. I don't think that anyone else has Admin access to the project but perhaps there is a method for transferring administrative control on a project that has been "abandoned" by a project admin. And, don't get me wrong, I don't think that Kenneth has truly "abandoned" the project but I have to believe that he would want the project to progress, as we all do. And he hasn't checked in for quite some time. As a last resort, Davide's suggestion to fork the project would be a possibility although the tn5250j "name" and project site has enough traction that changing to a new project name and site might have *some* downside risk that people wouldn't identify this new effort with the old and think that tn5250j is "dead".

Re: [Tn5250j-general] TN5250J in WDSC/RDi
Dear Roberto, I'm only a "consumer" of open source projects, so I have a very little working knowledge about the rules of Sourceforge and the habits of managing open source projects, but ... .. I think that if you and your group want start working on tn5250j there's no need to wait : make a fork(), publish it on a public accessible subversion server, inform the tn5250j* group about your plans, milestones and releases and, In My Humble Opinion, things will magically happens. BTW, I'm very interested on tn5250j in order to replace a battery of 5250 java screen scraping engines ... http://www.rds-software.com/ita/Caratteristiche%20di%20Host2web.pdf So my 2 (Euro) cents : don't hold your breath, "cvs get" the current release, make a svn vendor branch, synch it with your edition and republish it somewhere.

Good morning all, unfortunately I didn't receive any news from Kenneth and so I decided to re-post in here hoping he will read and answer. But I also want to make myself clear about the meaning of my previous message: me and my group are interested in taking all the project up, not only being inserted as developers. As I said we work for an italian IT-company which uses tn5250j a lot and that decided to give us the opportunity (intended as working-hours) to work on the project to improve it. In case Kenneth decides to pass the administration of the project to us it will, of course, remain open-source and there's also the possibility that we will need some external developers.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] TN5250J in WDSC/RDi
I think that would be great. I have a slightly modified version that includes the STRPCO fixes and an issue with sessions starting/ending. I keep meaning to work through the bug list and get things moving again but i haven't had time. There is always something more to do on other projects and tn5250j has been pretty stable, all in all. With Frank Hildebrandt doing some work with the WDSc plugin, it looks like 5250 is alive and well out there. Perhaps it is a good time to move the project forward again. As long as it stays open source, I am all for someone with time and resources moving things forward again. This is a great project and deserves a little attention.

Re: [Tn5250j-general] TN5250J in WDSC/RDi
Good morning Kenneth, I am Roberto Endrizzi from DeltaDator SpA, an Italian IT-company. We are a group of 5 developers specialized in Java and ISeries. We used tn5250j for years and we noticed that there hasn't been released new versions: so we would like to take care of the project. One of our main ideas was to start fixing some bugs we found out using it and then add some new features such as The Printer Connections and a new Installation Wizard (more user-friendly). What do you think about it? Is it possible?

Re: [Tn5250j-general] TN5250J in WDSC/RDi
I had seen this posted in WDSC in midrange.com as well. I had been meaning to do this, since it seemed a "natural" as a plugin, but it had never made it to the top of my list. It was great that Frank shared this. Glad to see that you are still "alive"! Pete kjpou wrote: Hello everyone Yes am still alive and kicking. Just wanted to pass this on to the rest of you.
