Hi,
Why not put it on nonvisualdevelopment.org and allow the list members to grow
it?

Jamal,
What about converting over the fruit basket to a Wiki style format? This might
allow anyone interested to contribute what they want whenever they have time.
For example, my academic team here is going to announce some blind programming
projects soon (that recently went open source --- more later), and it would be
nice to put some work on fruitbasket without having to maintain the entire the
thing.
What do you think?
Andreas

I have discussed this with Inthane off line. He took over the project
from Eunice a few years ago and helped it become a reality on the web.
Due to various circumstances now, he would be glad to turn it over to
someone who can devote the time to keep it current. He has plenty of
space on his server, so keeping the location of
http://FruitBasketDemo.AlacornComputer.com
is an option. If someone has his or her own server space and would find
it easier to host the project there, that is another option. Hosting the
project basically means collecting and posting fruit basket
sample programs from anyone who wants to demonstrate an implementation of
the common criteria in a particular combination of programming language,
libraries, and platform. Even if a technology combination has been used
before, someone else can feel free to do another version in their own
style. The purpose is to offer ways that blind programmers can evaluate
development approaches from various standpoints-- e.g., accessibility of
the GUI, readability of the code, size of the distribution -- via a
simple, but nontrivial GUI program that essentially does the same things.
Is anyone interested in taking over the fruit basket project?
