well those clever spammers got into the forum somehow. i must admit i haven’t even looked at in a long time - keeping up an open source project is a lot of work if it gets even somewhat popular - there’s a lot of feedback to keep up with. which is why i’ve never advertised or promoted neomem anywhere, except way back when it was shareware, though even that was pretty minimal. so sorry if i’ve neglected the forum. i’m trying to get back into dealing with everything now though. i’d like to overhaul this site also, and move it all into wordpress, especially if they have a good forum plugin.

that’s also why i’ve been avoiding moving the source code to sourceforge - i sort of dread getting a barrage of emails about how to do x in the code, why is x done this way? how should x be done? etc. but if this thing is ever going to have a decent life i’d need to do that, and be prepared to deal with a lot of correspondence.

so, i don’t know. maybe it would be easier to start the open source project with the new version, which would be plugin based and more modular, therefore less obscure for people to contribute to the code. i’m also thinking about using the eclipse rich client, which is just SO nice. that would mean using java (or maybe groovy?), but that would be nice because it could also use db4o for the backend (a real oo database).
