This is in indeed the case. pythondialog is not my "own project" in the
sense that the initial version was written by Robb Shecter. Otherwise,
yes. So, it existed on SourceForge even before I started to work on it.

I've never been much interested in the SF infrastructure. Current status
is not the best I could imagine, and actually worse than it used to be:
full of ads, and the project overview page
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythondialog/) doesn't even contain the
word "bug" (yes, I know where to find it). BTW, the "home page"
http://pythondialog.sourceforge.net/ could well use some update...

When I maintained pythondialog in 2002-2004, Google did the proper job
of pointing to my web page where up-to-date info and tarballs were
located. So, I didn't bother asking for SF admin permissions to Robb.
When I handed over the project in 2004, I've been cooperative by making
my web page explain the situation and point to the SF page immediately.

The PyPI situation is even more... pythonesque (in the Monty Python
sense -> nonsensical): exactly *none* of the present or past maintainers
of pythondialog has the right to change the information at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pythondialog/. :-)

Thank you.
