Poll on the future of the OpenH323 project

Dear all,

While the company behind OpenH323.org is very kind to host this mailing list, I
must say that not much has been done in terms of presenting an up-to-date
website, maintaining and contributing code to the CVS (@ SourceForge) over the
past 2 years.

Worse, I believe that many people erred and went away in disgust before
realizing that OpenH323 @ SourceForge existed. And obviously some were
discouraged from helping with the OpenH323.org website and other tasks by the
conditions put forward.

You should know my frustration about the whole affair from countless emails
last week and back in June 2004. While I recognize Craig's efforts, there is
only so much he can do. And I always prefer solving a problem rather than work
around it.

So, is there something we can do beside just sitting in shock?

Personally, I would favour a new site @ SourceForge to host the mailing list,
website and CVS together.

This would be a minimum change/pain, since CVS is already there @ SourceForge,
and the website is inexistant (beside linking to the OpenH323.org dinosaur).

I am sure that anyone who ever considered contributing to the OpenH323 project
will find in the free services offered by SourceForge all what is needed,
including the world wide availability that has benefited countless other
international projects.

The same contributors, the same quality code, and more people that can take
part in making this project a success.

If things like CVS/emails can be setup overnight, it may take a little while to
round the angles. Still, I rather take the chance than just continue the same
old thing for who knows how long.

Now, here is the interesting part:

Changes don't happen because I or anyone else says so. Let your voice be heard!

OpenH323 is a collaborative endeavour, and I wish that all say where they want
to take it, and how they think we can make it happen. 

Please email this mailing list (*) regarding the future of OpenH323 (and feel
free to explain why):
 1) Open a new project @ SourceForge
 2) Not do anything
 3) Other option (please specify)

(*) If you are concerned about your privacy, please email me instead. You
should Cc: whoever else you want to know about this.

This is the chance of a healthy debate. Hopefully you will find the time and
motivation to drop your 2 cents and more.

Best regards,
Guilhem.
