Ok, so, the first question is:

Why i need to say "i want to fork the project" to let someone of the
developers answer?

Why in 2 years they don't answer to question about the status of the
project?

Why 15 days ago they don't answer to my post in -devel ml asking about
the status of the project in which i was saying "i need to fork it to
see it continued?"

and before of those questions, why we are stalled to 2006 release when
we have a lot of new things, sizers and so on, already done by others,
forced to post changes on external web site 'cause of developers that
don't answer to post in mailing list?

Isn't too easy to wait for someone to fork the project to say "why you
don't ask to be part of this project instead of forking it?" when he and
others are ask many times during YEARS to contribute?

Another thing: i know that SF has a procedure tu takeover "dead"
projects. but if I will fork the project, I will choose to base it where
i find too confortable with, and i prefer to work on my own resources.
Of course everyone can choose to follow me or to stay here at 0.8
release.

Last but not least, i don't want to see someone say "why don't you stay
here with original developers" after i ask they in devel- ml without any
answer. I want  to see the developement go ahead, this is the only thing
that will make me come back on my own steps.
