I need to make a number of additions to GWindows, which I use at work. He seems to have little or no time for it at present, and I have both the time and the necessity to make improvements. I would prefer not to produce a different fork of GWindows without asking him about his opinions, as I feel that it would be a basic courtesy to get his blessings on the project, but I have received no answer to the E-mail that I sent to him, and I can't tell if he just has no time for even e-mail, or if an overzealous spam filter has blocked communication with him. I need to make extensive additions to printing support, which is at present a fairly thin binding to the Windows printing API. I also need to make additions to the support for databases. The Gwindows/GNATCOM mailing list seems to be defunct, and I would also like to find a way to organize a replacement for it.
