Hi all,

My preference at this point would be to shut down the project. It seems
like the codebase is just too outdated. Maybe at somepoint it would be
worth picking up and starting from scratch with all thats been learned
both in phpGW and across all the various projects in the open source
community these last 9+ years.

Anyways, if a clear vision can be had and a developer to continue it is
around, then please contact me... otherwise a leaderless project is a
dead one.

Thanks a lot for all your work for phpGW.

Well, it would be sad if we had to shut down phpGW. The code base might
be a bit outdated (php4), but the concept of phpGW of being more that
just calendar, mail and addressbook is stil valid and rather unique.
Most "modern" groupware systems just focus on these "essentials" - it's
easier to maintain.

Unfortunately, I have no programming power at hand to contribute - I
myself am not a programmer any more...

Hope we find a way to continue
