Hi all, I have plans for it and want to keep it alive. I think the best approach will be to focus on the system as a general application development framework - starting with the API and some core modules (admin, setup, preferences). I also think the majority of the existing applications without a minimum level of maintenance has to be put in a historical archive for future reference and a possible source of inspiration only. Important features are: * user-handling * integration capabilities (xmlrpc/soap/ldap...) * building blocks for ui as super-objects prepared to utilize common elements (as tables, lists, calendars) * mechanism for internal integration across modules I will fix the API (and core) to a usable state (running php 5.3) - and update to the latest 3-party libraries. I think that once the system is in a shape that makes is possible to install and operate - it will attract developers and users. Regards Sigurd
