Right now, I'm inclined to wait a bit, though. Sourceforge still hosts many projects, and I'd like to move etherape only as a last resort, since it would mean having users to resubscribe to mailing lists, change download links and so on. In short, bothering people excessively, at least for a low activity project like etherape and now that public outcry is forcing sourceforge to better behave. After a few months, with the dust settled, we will be in a better position to choose. Ciao, R |
