Gnuplot.py uses Subversion now, not CVS. Probably the CVS archive is still available at SourceForge for read-only access, but it is not up to date. Please see the Subversion instructions that somebody else mentioned for information how to check out the Gnuplot.py source from Subversion. > Do I need some "editing rights" or something else to use the CVS/SVN > of gnuplot-py on sourceforge, or is it open to any SF-user?

Hey, what a brilliant idea! I never thought of that! All that is missing is for SOMEONE to step forward. This is an open source project; that SOMEONE could be you! I haven't used Gnuplot.py in years and have only occasionally done tiny amounts of maintenance out of some irrational sentimental attachment to the project. Gnuplot.py definitely needs a new maintainer, if only to collect some minor changes that have been contributed by the mailing list and occasionally make a release. Volunteers needed! I'd be happy to get you started making contributions to the project. Just let me know that you are interested. (That applies to everybody else, too.) Michael |
