Thanks a lot Todd for reacting so quickly.
I think it's a good idea to move blitz to sourceforge. Certainly should make
management of access rights, news, releases etc quite trivial, I've been
using sourceforge for a few months now on an open source project of my own.
It's really not hard: after the approval you basically do an import of the
current blitz tree, and you create a "file release", add some news etc. I
think there is a way of making the "home" link from sourceforge blitz page
point to the current blitz++ home page, I seem to remember seeing this for
other projects on sourceforge.
The one thing I haven't had to deal with is the ok'ing of submissions. E.g.,
if I want to submit a patch, do I send a diff file to one of the developers,
or do I create a branch and notify the developers, who will then take care
of approving the merge, etc... I don't know what is the better way of doing
this.
Boost's uBlas should certainly be a concern unless there are some definite
plans to incorporate some blitz functionality into it. Any ideas on this?
