5 Resurrecting an abandoned project - ID: 1544026

Last Update: Settings changed ( wdavison )

Details:

Hello,

I am writing to discuss a project which appears to be
abandoned: Netx (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jnlp/)
This project does not appear to have any activity for
several years. I have downloaded the source code and
updated it. I would like to contribute it back to the
project, but there does not appear to be a project owner.

The old project owner was Jon A. Maxwell. I tried
contacting him by e-mail at his sourceforge.net address
and the address on his personal web site, but both
messages bounced.

What options are available for resurrecting the project?

Michel

Just click on the Create Project link (under SF.net menu), use the same UNIX name for the project (apparently jnlp), and fill in all the details, just like your would for a new project. The only difference will be that it will ask you about the conflict with the UNIX name, and you should choose the project take-over option. SourceForge.net Support
