Well, after sleeping on it, I have a new thought. To date, "Slash" has been the Software. "Slashcode" has been the "Slash Open Source Project," as the site at slashcode.com calls itself. The Software, those of us still here agree, has utility and is worth continuing to develop. But users have almost all drifted away because the Project has suffered from a profound lack of attention. That would be because those of us still here all but do not include the Slashdot team, who greatly reduced their priority to the Project in favor of Slashdot itself. I notice that Chris Nandor, the last person to post an article at slashcode.com, <a href="http://use.perl.org/~pudge/journal/40493">stopped working for Slashdot/GeekNet as of 2010Q4.</a> He put the use.perl.org site on hiatus before he quit. I'm betting that he no longer considers Slashcode a priority, either. Jamie McCarthy, the second-to-last to post an article, works for GeekNet but not Slashdot. (Jamie has contacted us with words of encouragement.) All this begs the question: why have we not asked the Slashdot team if they wouldn't mind if someone else took over altogether the "Slash Open Source Project" that is slashcode.com? == George On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 10:18 AM, Marc G.
