Hi John,

That is great to see people continuing to contribute to Speak Freely.

Are you interested to contribute to a Speak Freely maintenance project?

I ask this question because Next year this forum, and the LWL server
will go away. This will not make our user base bigger.

Also there should be a sourceforge project where patches
can be submitted, and maintenane versions for security fixes are 
offered. Something like an official home of Speak Freely. If we do
not have such a minimal maintenace project, one lixux distro after
the other will drop speak freely "beacuse it is abandoned upstream".

Johannes
