How hard is it to set up a mailinglist  + svn?</blockquote><div> Let's not make this a shouting contest :-) I don't think that anyone find it hard to create the new project, but just that everyone is tied on all fronts. That just doesn't cut it for the various related projects that have started to block on this of course. We need a resolution, and we need it fast. </div> Maybe we can keep everything in <a href="http://xesam.freedesktop.org">xesam.freedesktop.org</a> namespace and just use <a href="http://xesam.org">xesam.org</a> for hosting right now. It would be required that all http queries on <a href="http://xesam.freedesktoo.org">xesam.freedesktoo.org</a> was forwarded to <a href="http://xesam.org">xesam.org</a>, but that is probably just as time-consuming as creating the xesam project in the first place... </div>Cheers, Mikkel
