<img src="info.gif">&nbsp;&nbsp;Development Status (January 31, 2002)
Several of you have recently noted that FXPy development stalled last summer
while FOX and FXRuby development have charged along. I began the development of FXPy as a kind of learning exercise for myself, and
it has served that purpose. I learned a lot about C++ and Python programming,
especially developing extension modules for Python. When I went public with
FXPy it also taught me a lot about managing an open source project on the web.
And hopefully it brought a lot of new FOX developers into the fold from the
Python community.

Unfortunately, I've found increasingly little time to continue working
on FXPy. So this is the official announcement that I'm
seeking a new maintainer for FXPy. The tricky part is that the person who takes
over is going to need a pretty strong background in several areas: C++
programming, FOX library internals, the Python/C API and the use of SWIG. And
the current maintenance process (with regards to adding support for new FOX
classes and modifying existing classes' interfaces) is pretty messy. But I
would hope that enthusiasm of a new maintainer would go a long way in reviving
this project.

If you think you might be interested in assuming responsibility for this
project, feel free to contact me privately by e-mail or publicly though the
foxgui-users mailing list. I don't have any kind of "transition" instructions
prepared or anything like that, and so you'll need to figure out a lot on your
own, but I will of course answer as many questions as I can. In the meantime I'm
checking with the SourceForge maintainers about transferring the CVS repository
to SourceForge to further open-up the development; I'll update this page when
that's available.

Thanks,

Lyle
