I know, others have posted similar thoughts at this board, but nevertheless...

Donald, with great enthusiasm you've coded this neat little peace of software, called folderblog. Its cc-licensed, so there isn't any right to support or even the right to some short words about the future ob fb. And yes, I know it from myself, there are many periods where someone hasn't the time or hasn't the interest to do further development of the software. You do this in you speartime, and there many other possibilities then php-coding for filling this time up. So far...

On the other hand... I think folderblog ist standing on a crossroad, and in the last couple month it looks more like we are driving in the dead-end street. Many people came to folderblog, cause it is very small, very simple, doesn't need a MySQL-database and could easily be code as valid xhtml 1.1. People are installing it, looking for a template maybe and experiencing some errors or have suggestions for future enhencements. In a "good" week they could post the question here at the forum and an answer will come up in some hours or days. Or maybe not.

Im still trying to optimize my almanac template (comments in my newest version still doesn't, hence I'm still fiddling with the clean-url-topic). At least its a little bit frustrating to try hours and hours getting things to work, which you possibly could answer in 3 sentences. What I mean is, you didn't have to post here every day, but folderblog lives from the people who use it and these users will become fewer and fewer, cause they must have the impression thta folderblog development has stopped.

I really like the idea that software doesn't need to have MegaBytes, but to keep small and simple. Thats the reason why I came to fb and I want to stay with fb. But for that some short statements by you would be much appreciated. I'm shure you're still reading here, so please take the time of 3 minutes, give us a short "hello" and maybe, if you even can't do that, it would be helpful to change the format of the folderblog licence from by-nc-nd to by-nc, so that people like ikue could legaly build some modified version of fb. That is - in my eyes - the only way to keep this (your) project alive. That shouln'd sound dramaticly, I just see it as this.

Happy New Year, Donald.

Regards,

John
