Yes, I created the StarMap2 project on SourceForge, and I've allready=20
got a programmer working on it. We're concentrating first on just=20
doing a Windows port of the origonal StarMap, and from there he'll=20
have a better understanding of how the package works under the new=20
format.

Once that's doen, he says in a day or two, we can move on to=20
adding/upgrading features and other issues such as web-apps or cross-
platform.

Keep in mind that because I'm working through SourceForge, everything=20
my project ends up with will be open source (not that I'd make this=20
tool commercial anyways), so if you don't like the final spin I end=20
up with, you are more than welcome to take the code and make yer own=20
version.

For now why don't ya sign up to the StarMap2 mailing list and toss=20
out yer ideas. In particular Chris, I'd like to hear about your=20
campaign management tool you said you were thinking about? Since=20
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=20
origonal author of StarMap, to use both the source and name of=20
StarMap for the 2.00 project. But I'd like to hear more about your=20
OpenSphere project?
