I think it is more important to sort out the archive list and perhaps also
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 also
got no reply. Miguel Bolanos offered to start the ball rolling but as far 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?

Thanks,
Hans.
