I'd love to help out but my real life work has been eating into more and
more of my life lately so I can't offer to assist.

  Subject: [CBML] Announcement: CyberBoard... A Change of Direction


  Hi everyone....

  As is probably no surprise I've been finding it hard to find
  large blocks of time to devote to coding CyberBoard. I've
  also been doing a fair amount of work on Linux as of late
  and have really been digging it. Therefore I've decided that
  CB needs to be Free Open Source Software (aka FOSS).

  However, there are a few complications.

  * I would like FOSS CB to be cross platform.

  There are some cross platform C/C++ UI frameworks that would allow
  this. Unfortunately the current code base is very Windows and
  MFC specific. Although the core data management code could
  probably be ported fairly easily a big piece of the code is UI.

  * The initial public release must be deloused of MSoft.

  I would like to sanitize MSoft from the code. There will no doubt
  be some pain here. I would rather not link against Wine as a
  solution.

  I'd rather not do this alone so I'm putting out a call for experienced
  C/C++ Linux/Windows programmers to help in this endeavor. The final
  result should be a great thing for the gaming community. In the end,
  accelerate the addition features such as real-time play, etc.

  Takers?

  Happy Easter!
  Dale
