Sometimes this pattern can be fine, when a project reaches a certain maturity. But for Tesseract i think it's not okay yet. > > I don’t know OCRopus but here: > http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/04/open-source-ocr-software-sponsored-by.html > they tell that it’s partly based on Tesseract…I’m curious about how the > Tesseract modifications are being managed. Anyone knows something about that ? i have no idea, i'm totally new to these two projects. i'm relying on people reading the mailing list for such information.

Maybe we also need someone in this "fork" project, to help us discussing with OCRopus guys. > I mostly agree with you Pierre about what you said about relying on extern > libraries, but I think that there is an exception to be made, the boost > libraries, don’t you agree? Yes, boost could do the trick, or any library of this kind (i myself prefer Qt, but that's a matter which is too early to discuss yet). > I encourage those who had been following this thread silently as me to share > their opinion. Absolutelly, and again: i would appreciate a list of potential contributors, because again: forking Tess is clearly not a one-man job.
