Well, if there is no real interest to keep things moving, then it is better to keep the source as it is, since in it is rather well tested. I mean, as with a lot of other topics, there are a lot of different open source FEM projects and the rare developers are thinly spreaded over that projects (as it seems, people prefer to have a project of their own, rather then contribute to somebody other's project). Tochnog got as far as it is now, because Dennis dedicated a huge amount of man-hours into it. If Dennis has no interest in tochnog any more, then somebody must act as the soul of tochnog or tochnog will die like most of the newer tiny open source projects do. So, what I really want to say: 1) Is there somebody committed to keep tochnog running, coordinate developers, provide new development directions, reply to user questions etc? 2) If not, wouldn't it be better to contribute calculix, where the core of two coordinators exist? I mean, these are just my 2 cents. Let me know your opinion (in the mean time I will keep the changes to tochnog on my hard drive).
