Well Paolo, I would say that this kind of decisions should be taken by the=
=20
original author and actual maintainer.

So the main question is: Armin where do you want to go with pmapper?

Should it become a real cooperative project or continue like now as a=20
one-man-project with you as leader, developer, maintainer etc. etc.

I personally think that you (Armin) have done an impressive very good job, =
I=20
like pmapper and continue to use it in my projects, but I agree with Paolo=
=20
(and other members of this list) that sometimes a broader discussion about=
=20
new features or how to fix some issues and bug should be taken.

Ok, now we are just saying we would like to participate more in pmapper=20
development, also contributing patches, plugins, code, ideas documentation=
=20
etc.

But to allow a better cooperation we definitely need a code repository and =
a=20
bugtracking system plus a comitee of major contributors who will take the=20
final decision on controversial topics. At least this is how other Open=20
Source projects work.

As a final note, I (and probably others) will not duplicate our job inserti=
ng=20
bugs and fixes in two systems or discussing in two lists, I really hope we=
=20
will find a constructive and cooperative way of improving pmapper.

Regards.
