Re: [moregroupware-devel] Project Status

[Oscar v. E. <osc...@ov...>]

Hi all,

Another note from a note-yet-but-would-like-to-be MGW developer.

I agree this is a good time to see where MGW stands and what could/should be 
changed to implement a longer term strategy.
I've got some ideas for that; I told Franky a while ago I might wanna branch 
MGW, but if the project can come back to life, it's better to start as much 
as possible in the way things are.

Problem is the project management. Karsten is still around; his last message 
on the Typo3 developers list is from Oct. 26, so it looks like MGW is just 
not on the attention list at the moment.
Whatever's gonna happen, I think at least 2 project managers should be 
assigned to prevent situations like this; my vote is for Franky!

Problems remains... does anybody have any other means to reach Karsten?

Take care all ye,
Oscar
