Dear all,
it appears that ELSI is not really used by users and developers - and killefiz.de is no longer being updated. And killefiz.de says: QUOTE elsix.org is already operational - there are still some things that need to be done but it's already much better than ZSI ever was. But if I look at the latest entries, I have the impression that elsix is not really being adopted and used. It e.g. appears that nobody uses the voting mechanism and developes use just the default branch. And there are just 2 new entries since 17th April. What does that mean? * is ELSIX not user friendly enough? * is there no new Zaurus software development? * is there a simple solution to fix? My opinion is that Roy has done a great job in preparing ELSIX - but there was probably not really the need for all those new bells and whistles. It was just the need to have someone to approve project updates in the old killefiz (incl. style&layout). So we end up in great technology but low use. Should we switch back to the killefiz database&scripts (just host it here) and find volunteers to approve projects (there is a lot of spam in the killefiz backlog)? What are your opinions? -- hns |

I think I'll take care of this, but it won't be any sooner than 2-3 weeks time
