Intent to package GoldED
I intend to package GoldED when my developer-application processes From freshmeat appindex: GoldED is a very nice console full-screen mail/newsreader for Fidonet and Internet. It is one of the best of it's kind for Fidonet and quite usable for Internet. For Internet mail and news you need a program which handles SOUP packets, such as the excellent SOUPER, which connects to the SMTP/POP3/NNTP servers and transfers the mail/news. This functionality is planned to be built into GoldED in the no-so-far future. I work the same place as the upstream author and therefore have a quick way to resolve any upstream bugs. -- Andreas pgpRQGwWKDo36.pgp Description: PGP signature

Is it still non-free, no source, etc, etc? = -- Anticipation is the sweetest form of torture...
