I would need you to release your code under some Open Source License. It would be most convenient if you did both at once, by starting a sourceforge project with your code and chosen license. Then authorize at least one alternate project manager, and you never need do anything about it again. Normal ettiquette would allow you as originator "considerable" (understatement) influence over any decisions made in the project, but you can also just ignore them. BTW, I like your program but its package search sure seems slow. That would probably be the first thing I'd try to improve. It's still running a few hours after starting. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
