No need to invent tasks nobody is interested in. One of the most important points within development is: knowing when to stop. possibly this point is reached for SQLObject, not sure yet, see below. >> * The project should move away from sourceforge.

I provide such services, commercially: http://dev.lazaridis.com/base/wiki/CommercialServices Although I _would_ possibly provide this for free for SQLObject, but I should see some activity, see below. >> * At a minimum, the project should inform potential users about the low >> activity on the SQLObject project. > > May be activity here is so low there is nobody who really can make such > a warning. ;) Or may be activity is high enough there is no need in any > false warning. > > 2All: Many thanks to all good people who have expressed support! May I suggest that you move over to google groups (= mailinglist with good spamfilter, web-interface, search-functionality). This has the additional benefit of giving sqlobject some more visibility. Having an communication-resource again, I would the want to implement the schema-evolution support (in cooperation with the existent people here). If things go fine with 0.7.2 (including basic evolution support), I would then provide the setup of the trac-infrastructure (_possibly_ I could provide the hosting, too) How does this sound? . -- http://lazaridis.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
