1. how about moving the projects FRACTINT and MANPWIN to sourceforge? This way we could co-develop using a central cvs server.
Strange as it sounds, since we've been open source from the beginning, our license is not "open source" according to any of the definition at http://www.opensource.org/. Therefore we can't use sourceforge. It's not as easy as you might think to change our license since we are not in contact with most of our contributors. If we get into a big rewrite, we can systematically go to a new license, probably GPL, the sourceforge would be an option.
2. where there any thoughts on rewriting the gui with a free, portable c/c++ based GUI layer such as GTK+ ? -> we would have the same GUI for Unix and Windows GIMP is a good example for such a project. Qt also comes to mind, but its not free under windows...
Task would be to strictly separate the code between backend calculus and GUI.
This just needs a developer to do it. It has been proposed many times. Brave talk is cheap :-) Tim
