Re: [Cppunit-devel] Is this project dead?

Hi Bob,

Open Source projects don't die, they just fade away into obsolence :-)

To answer your question: I plan to build a new release soon (this 
weekend or next week). Unfortunately that probably will my last release 
at the same time: when I took up maintainership of CppUnit half a year 
ago, I' was planning to use very soon, but things worked out 
differently. Maintaining a package you don't use your self turns out to 
be neither efficient nor effective. So I'm looking for someone to take 
over my job. A 'help wanted' request will be attached to the next release.
I would like to add that Baptiste and Steven have performed a large 
chunk of the work in the recent releases. I do not know how much time 
they can or want to devote to CppUnit in the future however. Such are 
the difficulties of volunteer based projects....
If you like to help, don't hesitate to say so!

Regards,

Bastiaan
