I haven't seen Shawn post for a while, and I haven't heard from him
either. I have a few questions about Allegro:
1) We can't really "pay" Shawn for his efforts (hard to swap anything to
someone we can't locate)
2) More importantly, Allegro is basically stuck where it is. Mind you,
it's got ALOT of functionality and great features as it is, but for it to
remain as is is a shame. What do the rest of you think of someone
temporarily taking over the maintanance of Allegro till we hear from Shawn
again? I can't do it personally (Shawn was a much better coder than I
currently am), but I do think it would be beneficial - Allegro is quite
popular and useful. Would anyone be interested in making unofficial
Allegro releases? Do any of you think that Shawn would mind? (I'm
guessing not)
