It has been a few weeks now since the subject of track designer updates was
brought up, has anything come out of it yet?  Has anybody heard anything new
from Matt about releasing the source code to individuals, sourceforge or
whatever?

Huh?  I could swear that just a few weeks ago you recommended waiting
around patiently for something to happen.

Well the thread had only been quite for a day or two, and I figured that
Matt would need a least a week to sort things out, so I wasn't worried at
that stage.

Yes, but in fact the project had already languished for a year,
and both Leonardo and Matt admitted being too busy to work on it.
New babies, dot com hours, and real life in general can be very
distracting.  It seemed to me that an opportunity had appeared
and was just as quickly disappearing.  I've seen it happen before.
That's why I tried to move it along with a bit of urgency.
Sorry if I annoyed anyone.

Well, he was waiting.. but now perhaps he's wondering whether the necessary
first step is going to happen or not? That step is Matt (or whoever?)
finding the code, right, not setting up the SourceForge project.
That is correct, I thought that Matt may have said that he had found it by
now, and given it to someone.  I didn't expect him to set up a sourceforge
account or anything like that.

Last I remember, Leonardo thought he might have the source but
was waiting for permission to distribute it.  (For the record, I
like the direction he was going with the source before the real
world took precedence.)

Meanwhile Matt had already basically given permission, but perhaps
not formally enough?

At this point I'd say it's still up to the guys with no free time
to find the source and put it somewhere.

But you still could do that anyway, ne?
I presume that is probably the best thing to do with it, that way it won't
get lost.  It still may be better to wait for Matt to come up with the code
before we do this step.  I don't think it takes very long to set up an
account on sourceforge.

I don't see the point setting up a sourceforge project without the
source.  Seems kinda silly to me.

Martin (Still waiting, just a little bit anxious!)

Me too...
