Saying nobody cares is also underestimating the current devs. Most of
us (how many are there actually?) are pretty new to seq24 and fixing
compiler warnings is usually not the first thing you do when start
getting to know a bunch of source code (your view can differ of
course. this is just my opinion). I usually don't allow compiler
warnings in my own code which I've built from the scratch.

That would be very nice! This is what the first step in getting seq24
development back to speed is: submitting the useful patches that have
been lying around in the web. What was the problem with getting seq24
to build & run in Fedora 9 by the way?

And about using sourceforge: Is there a need anymore to use
sourceforge for anything else than this mailing list since we already
have Launchpad? It offers a hosted version control system (Bazaar) and
integrated bug tracking & blueprints & "answers" (a miniature question
forum). I admit most people are new to Bazaar but it seems to do it's
thing ok and is used by lots of projects hosted by Launchpad.

You must admit that Launchpad has a nice GUI for all of this stuff :)
