It is kind of manual at the moment and a little fragile because there is an occasional communication gap between the project managers making a release and them getting information to Jim. Doug and I are in the process of reviewing the steps to see if things can be streamlined a bit moving forward, but we have to get projects moved over to GitHub and that has a little higher priority right now. All good things in time.

Thanks for chiming in. I wasn't suggesting that Jim needs to enhance or update. I was attempting to fill a vacuum here. Good news about the Thor update process. There were times in the past where it seemed like that required care and feeding by Jim to pick up updates in some projects but I'm an outside observer. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Rick Schummer Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2017 8:05 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: RE: Codeplex is shutting down, VFPX.org is spinning up Richard, Isn’t this the number one thing developers love about open source software, no one individual will be able to kill a product because others can step up and take it over or fork it to their own liking? Thor is solid as a rock, and it was designed for extreme extensibility, which is why there is no reason right now for Jim to enhance it. Yes, he is working less on VFPX stuff as he heads toward retirement, so it is time someone (or more likely someones) else steps up and fills the roll. If it becomes apparent that it needs a tweak, or additional feature or bug crushed, I have no doubt that the VFP community will step up to the challenge. It is how we operate.

He has indicated elsewhere that he is heading towards retirement. Whenever anyone asks a question about changes to Thor, his more recent replies have indicated that he feels it's a pretty mature product and he is not planning on making any significant changes to it. This probably qualifies as a pretty significant change and I would guess that the community will need to step up and find a new Thor Master. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Fernando D.
