we care ;-)))

Anyway, there was a solution that there is a main branch in PD, where miller 
checks in his version and there is a dev tree as a branch. So Thomas thinks 
the same modell is good for his iemlib.

I think its good to have iemlib not just as a forgotten copy in cvs but the 
main branch lively patched and growing. And anybody can make branches and 
they can be merged in, if it makes sense. If there is another main developer 
of iemlib he also get the rights for the main branch. I always thought that 
is the way it works on sourceforge. I dont think it makes sense we set up a 
own sourceforge project page since everyone is sharing source here.

PS: Beside I suspect OpenSource is already a marketing modell and sourceforge 
is a marketingplace for that.
