Re: [Tn5250j-general] TN5250J in WDSC/RDi
Roberto, Perhaps Sourceforge can help you contact Kenneth. I don't think that anyone else has Admin access to the project but perhaps there is a method for transferring administrative control on a project that has been abandoned by a project admin. And, don't get me wrong, I don't think that Kenneth has truly abandoned the project but I have to believe that he would want the project to progress, as we all do. And he hasn't checked in for quite some time. As a last resort, Davide's suggestion to fork the project would be a possibility although the tn5250j name and project site has enough traction that changing to a new project name and site might have *some* downside risk that people wouldn't identify this new effort with the old and think that tn5250j is dead.

Dear Roberto, I'm only a consumer of open source projects, so I have a very little working knowledge about the rules of Sourceforge and the habits of managing open source projects, but ... .. I think that if you and your group want start working on tn5250j there's no need to wait : make a fork(), publish it on a public accessible subversion server, inform the tn5250j* group about your plans, milestones and releases and, In My Humble Opinion, things will magically happens. BTW, I'm very interested on tn5250j in order to replace a battery of 5250 java screen scraping engines ... http://www.rds-software.com/ita/Caratteristiche%20di%20Host2web.pdf So my 2 (Euro) cents : don't hold your breath, cvs get the current release, make a svn vendor branch, synch it with your edition and republish it somewhere. Se son rose, fioriranno (~~ If it's a rose, it will bloom ~~) My best regards, David Grandi -- Ing.
