Hi Paulo,

good to hear from you! As I already wrote I think there is still enough momentum and - as a result from that - developer commitment. While XWiki may have improved since I looked at it I think there is room for XWiki and SnipSnap. The point is, that SnipSnap as an application is almost perfect (I'm using it for 4 years now), but as a project is almost dead. I would like to restart the project and gradually improve it without overloading it (the last point was my impression of XWiki).

You recommended the discussion group on Google. In my opinion we have to get things a bit more organized if we want the restart this time to be more successful than the one by angel-o-sphere last time. We (you, me, maybe some others) have to put some work into it before we try to attract developers and start a community. This initial work would be:

1. Set up a project (the name SnipSnap is still available on java.net - no need to deal with angel-o-sphere regarding the sourceforge project) and configure the project tools
1. Add sources: We should start with your fork
1. There should be an initial release containing your improvements. The improvements should be documented and outlined
1. We should come up with a road map - this should attract developer and a community (it shows that the project is going to get up to speed).
1. Look for references to SnipSnap on snipsnap.org and elsewhere and tell people that they already missed the project re-launch ;-)

I'm not only interested in SnipSnap as an application but I would like to gain more experience in running a community project. This will probably some contrast to the professional projects I'm involved with ;-)

What do you think of this?
