I don’t have a cent ;-). > - Ricardo Pedroso already has a Githnb version/fork of SWFTools. But this is a fork, as you mention. I was thinking of a more “official” repository.

Allows for easy - GUI - browsing of the updates/changes. And if you do that, wouldn’t it be easier to host the code (not the wiki, but the code) at GitHub? GitHub enables also another feature I miss from the SWFTools management: an issue tracker. I have reported issues in the past I’m afraid they haven’t been fixed. With a public issue tracker, other people than Matthias can check whether issues have been fixed or not. An even contribute code. GitHub also provides another feature for coders: it makes code contributions easier. Disclaimer: I cannot contribute code myself ;-). >> Maybe a SWFTools user group could also be useful here. > > You are an avid user, Pablo! ;o) There are a few others, where I > believe the main interest lies with pdf2swf, however is there is > there really the user-base out there?

This is an example: https://github.com/TEIC. I think it could be helpful to make the development process of SWFTools more visible. Maybe someone wants to step in ;-).
