I noticed that some of you are still selecting projects. Salil Pradhan (salil), the originator of Isthmus, has an interesting software maintenance tool in mind which we could use instead of imake to port Demeter to various platforms, e.g. Windows NT. The task would be to develop a cd to express software dependencies and then to write pps to maintain the software according to the dependencies. If you are interested in contributing to such a tool, please contact him by email. He is the host for such a project. -- Karl L.
