Yes, I created the StarMap2 project on SourceForge, and I've allready =
got a programmer working on it. We're concentrating first on just doing =
a Windows port of the origonal StarMap, and from there he'll have a =
better understanding of how the package works under the new format.

Once that's doen, he says in a day or two, we can move on to =
adding/upgrading features and other issues such as web-apps or =
cross-platform.

Keep in mind that because I'm working through SourceForge, everything my =
project ends up with will be open source (not that I'd make this tool =
commercial anyways), so if you don't like the final spin I end up with, =
you are more than welcome to take the code and make yer own version.

For now why don't ya sign up to the StarMap2 mailing list and toss out =
yer ideas. In particular Chris, I'd like to hear about your campaign =
management tool you said you were thinking about? Since essentially =
that's one of the major reasons for my starting StarMap 2.

Finally, as for the name. I allready got permission from Jim, the =
origonal author of StarMap, to use both the source and name of StarMap =
for the 2.00 project. But I'd like to hear more about your OpenSphere =
project?

  Trace has (I think it's his).  Search SourceForge for StarMap.  Of
  course the first question is whether the project should be called
  OpenSphere but I'll leave that for you and Trace to work out.  I
  guess retaining the StarMap name is valid as long as it's a straight
  port.  Even if you want to keep your system separate I think we
  can benefit from some shared thinking at this stage.  That project=20
  has a mailing list so we should be able to kick around the=20
  nitty-gritty of the technical details there.  Especially since I'm =
only=20
  interested in the cross-platform aspects of the development for
  a larger campaign management tool I've been designing for a
  million years - too busy to contribute programming time.

  I'd still suggest that any questions about what it should do should
  be raised here or world-create to canvas a wide group of potential
  users.
