[EventCalendar] Alex, you've GPL'ed the plugin, will you consider sourceforge to make managing it easier?

Hi Jonathon,

Thanks for forwarding this on to me. As you are no doubt aware, I only check the EC mailing-list every so often. Sorry, but I'm too busy to give EC users the attention that you all deserve.

Wow. I had never considered putting EC onto Sourceforge, but I agree with you it's a good idea. People seem quite enthusiastic about the plugin, and anything that empowers them to contribute is a good thing.

Great. I'm happy to use SF's CVS/SVN, and to give check-in rights to anyone interested.

I'm not sure about Sourceforge's bug tracking system. I find it a bit clunky. I suppose the thing to do is turn it on and try using it. We can always restrict access if it starts to fill up with help requests that really belong in the mailing list.

I know Darrell suggested Google's SF-a-like. I've already got a couple of projects on SF, so I'd rather stick with the devil I know. OK?

regards,

-Alex
