I think it is more important to sort out the archive list and perhaps a= lso the website (at least have a 2006 entry such as "we are still alive" := -). Without an updated archive list and/or website potential hobbyists/developers are turned away and the results is what we have currently, a few emails a year. Last year I asked who is in charge of the website but I got no reply. I= also emailed the maintainer of the website (CC'd again on this email) but al= so got no reply. Miguel Bolanos offered to start the ball rolling but as f= ar as I know nothing happened. I am not complaining since we are all busy but fixing the archive list should take that long. So lets ask the question again, who is in charge of the website/archive list? RHW, if you are on-line could you please fix the archive link?
