Re: *** ADMIN: Is this list needed anymore?

Good morning,

I think, IMHO, that the compelling reason is :

AFAIK, TN5250 is the open source complete (or better, the open source 
complete reference implementation) of a telnet 5250 emulator.

The low volume on this mailing list, beside the claimed 200 
downloads/week and a very sparse bug reports on Sourceforge, suggests 
that TN5250 is a stable and good open-source product.

In absence, I repeat AFAIK, of another reference implementation handled 
like an Apache/Sourceforge project, this list should to be considered a 
"strategic resource" for everyone working in-, connected to-, working 
aside-, the AS/400 ecosystem.

I think that, in any case, the project members of TN5250 listed on
     https://sourceforge.net/p/tn5250/wiki/Home/
namely
     Carey Evans (admin)
     James Rich
     Jason M. Felice (admin)
     Marc-Antoine Ruel
     Michael Madore (admin)
     Scott Klement (admin)
should be kindly contacted directly before taking any action, and that 
the time frame of 2 (holiday) weeks should be extended to mid/whole 
September.

Best regards (and greetings from Swiss Alps

PS :
a) I know that TN5250 is NOT the only open source tn5250 emulator
b) sorry, if the choice of words should result not kind as I would be ...
