Hello all, The http://PHP-GTK.eu community site was created in late 2006 to : - restore visibility of the wiki and apps repository content on http://gtk.php.net which had been taken offline after an exploit on the original TWiki instance. - provide a more community-oriented gathering point for PHP-GTK developers/users than the authoritative/reference http://gtk.php.net site. Over the years, it has been providing these resources, as well as original community-provided ones, notably installation procedures and tips/tricks for components, and serving the IRC bot Gataka on #php-gtk . My interests have been taking me away from PHP-GTK for quite some time, and I can no longer give it the attention it needs, beyond the ongoing maintenance, it needs, being CMS-based. The consequence is that I do not plan to maintain it past 2014-12-31. I think it would be a pity to have all the accumulated information present on the site be lost when I pull the plug, hence this announcement : I hope someone more involved in PHP-GTK than myself will be interested in taking up the helm and provide a new home for this content : the site itself is unimportant, but the content is. Since the brasilian PHP-GTK community appears to have long been the largest in terms of users, merging the content into the existing brasilian community site would probably make most sense, since the purposes of the sites are rather similar. I'm open to anything as long as it can preserve this community-generated information in some public form. Please contact me off-list using the contact tab on http://php-gtk.eu/contact if you are interested.
