With all due respect, Stephane, I would suggest hosting a new Gwindows project on Sourceforge, instead. It's entirely possible you will suffer the same fate as David Botton (I hope he's moved on to something he's happy with). Sourceforge is supported by a large organization with what appears to be a solid business plan, so it's a better choice for a joint project that we want to be around for a while. I used to recommend Savannah, supported by the Gnu Project; Grace was there. But they took a _long_ time to recover from a hacker attack; they clearly devote their main effort to the Gnu Project itself, and don't really have the resources for us casual users. -- -- Stephe
