I don't know debian community well but I think they have done some tweaking too. Not to forget all 20 or something like that patches what is posted on devs list. > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Cockings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 10:19 PM > To: [email protected] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [dspam-users] Dspam Fork? > > My preference would be if the dspam community as a whole > could move to a new project, but I'm not sure if anyone will come! > > A new project would need to maintain the bulk of the > knowledgeable people found here, a return of Jonathan in some > way if he is able, and a structured way that we can all > commit back those patches without turning dspam into a black > hole of focused smaller projects, that in time will become > unmaintained. > > I see a need for a fork, but have no experience of a project > lead in this way - the setup on sf.net is the easy bit, but > will anyone else be interested if I did it? > > Paul > > > > Jani Partanen wrote: > > Maybe it would be better to start new project into sf.net > for example? > > There is everything ready what is needed.
