Dear group, My self and Yves are not able to release software for PP at the current time. The challenges of a young family is too much for my self. Yves is currently working on unrelated projects. We are aware that there are some excellent patchs which have been offered. None of which we want to loose. We have all put in so much work to PP that is would be a terrible shame to let the project die. So I am asking from Garry, Alex, Flo, Bruno, Martin and all others who have contributed work. Whether any of you would consider managing PP and releasing new versions with submitted patches. With support from Yves, my self and the rest of us. There is still so much to do! So this is realy a job advert: Open Source Project Manager needed. Managing PerfParse, a viable successful and popular open source project. For any person or persons who wants to have a turn at managing an OS Project. As done by Eric Raymond who then made a fortune from his books. It also makes a very good foot-note onto a Resume. But the people I have worked with over the last year have made this job worth everything. Regards, Ben Clewett. |

I already considered about asking where the project is actually going. Is there some active development at the moment? I've heard about the new php frontend.

Do you have an idea how many people are actually using perfparse? There wasn't that much traffic on the lists. I haven't visited the perfparse page for a while, but imho the wiki is a bit to complex and the install guide should be reviewed. Perhaps these factors make the project look unmaintained and reject new users. However I know, that modifying the installguide was discussed about half a year ago, but I haven't had the time to install pp and then contribute some docs, since then. Hope you find worthy successor. matthias |

The new php frontend is basically usable, but the goal to attract php developers and html designers to help in that subproject is not yet achieved. > >> We are aware that there are some excellent patchs which have been >> offered.

With support from > Yves, my self and the rest of us. 1st step : release a new version with submitted patches. This is only one= action. This is more important than finding a new maintainer. This should not engage y= ou in maintaining Perfparse. Can somebody do it ? 2nd step : managing the project and release versions with newer patches i= s not necessary right now if the 1st step is done. There is nothing to do if there is no = patch to apply. Maybe one day somebody wants to develop things in perfparse and he will a= ccept to be in charge of applying newer patches as well (just like I did last year) ? Yves PS. I don't CC na...@na... because they may not care about this mes= sage. --=20 - Homepage - http://ymettier.free.fr - http://www.logicacmg.com - - GPG key - http://ymettier.free.fr/gpg.txt - - Maitretarot - http://www.nongnu.org/maitretarot/ - - Perfparse - http://www.perfparse.org/ - |
