I hope that moving the icewm project will help to revive it.  People
stopped caring about icewm.org because of the lack of activity on it
and the SF cvs repo, so moving could be a good time to re-start.

The bbidulock fork shows there clearly is a desire for icewm to
continue, and it doesn't seem to be a "hostile" fork with its own name
or mailing list (afaics), so perhaps there is hope their changes can be
merged back in future, or alternatively for that to just become the
official source?
