[Radmind-devel] Cleaning up the radmind stuff

[James R. <rey...@bi...>]

I don't believe anyone is really in charge of radmind any more.  I don't want to see it go completely abandoned, so I'm want to clean up the radmind stuff a little bit.  Richard Glaser just gave me access to the Github project page.  I've contacted Patrick McNeal and he still has access to the SourceForge project page.  I don't want to just take over and start making changes so I thought I'd email the lists and get some ideas about what I want to do.  The problems I see are as follows.

* Different downloads on 3 websites: radmind.org, github.com, sourceforge.net.  I don't know if we can get access to radmind.org.  Someone must still be paying the bill to keep the domain though.  I think we should pick one and remove the other download links.  SourceForge for mail lists.  Github for source code, and if we can change radmind.org, maybe just redirect the whole thing to github.com.

* The radmind 1.14.1 source downloads on Github and sourceforge are different.  Github is probably newer and includes changes since 1.14.1 was released.

* The README instructions on github do not work (I've already submitted a pull request to update it for macOS 10.12).

* 4 mail lists: users, devel, announce, and commit.  Until this week devel hasn't been used for 2 years, commit for 4 years, and announce for 10 years.  I think we should combine them into 2 lists, users and devel, or maybe even 1 list.  As Hauke Fath said, the commit messages have to go somewhere.

I'm not a developer but have a few developer skills.  I'm learning github a little bit more and am willing to try to work on this stuff.  I have other pipe dreams but I think if people can just comment on what they would like to see done about the above issues and if there are other things they want addressed, then I'll see if I can get them fixed.
