thanks a lot for your offer.
sounds good to me. as i said, i would be willing to take over
maintenance, provided that i can have ssh access to the server.
otoh, erik steffl suggested going to sourceforge.
while i have absolutely nothing against them, i don't feel the urge
to host everything that's remotely open-source on sourceforge - what
if va linux drops out of business ?
plus they seem to be somewhat slow to respond to problem reports (no
wonder given the number of projects they host - i really don't blame
them, they're providing a great service).
still, a university server like music.columbia.edu would be my
preference.
if nobody objects, we could start migrating rsn.
regards,
jörn
