Today, I've finally decided to drop this project. I really should have done it years ago, but there you go, these decisions take a while with me.
I've been thinking about it over the summer, and I came to realise that my motivation to keep on going with it is virtually none.
This is what I wrote on the mailing list:
Hi all,
Actually, the subject line doesn't say it all, it's really been time for quite a while.
Things are changing, life is going on, and I've been quite aware for a while that I haven't lifted a finger on this project for a long while. I've done some thinking on this and other stuff during the summer, to see where I feel motivated... and I came to the conclusion that my motivation to keep working on ctwm has been close to none for that long while, and that I really need to let go, let someone else take over.
Any takers? I've noticed some activity just recently, so I imagine there should be some interest. As a side note, there's a clone/fork on github, https://github.com/sroracle/ctwm . I believe this was mentioned on this list some time ago. I have no idea if it's of interest.
From a practical point of view, I can keep the web site, monotone database, mail and all that running on my server, but in the long run, it might be a good idea to move it wherever the one taking over wishes. Just tell me what you need and I'll help as much as I can.
Cheers, Richard
P.S. If there are no takers, I will have to consider simply dropping the project. Nothing I particularly enjoy, but...
Among the things I've thought about but never got to actually doing is to add full support for Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual. I hope whoever takes over gets that going, it would be a nice addition.
OK, it's decision time. It's obvious that the amount of activities I've had lately came with consequences. I'm hardly at home before late most of the week days, I've a hard time making time to be with Eva, let alone take care of my own home. It's just too damn much, and generally deteriorating.
So, I've decided to take a break from the choir. Yes, I know, I was all excited a year ago, but the way things look right now, it's a luxuary I can't uphold anymore, if I want to stay healthy.
I'm also going to cut down on the time I spend at Stacken unless I can find a way to stay in focus with the stuff I work on. I could, for example, only appear every second week...
