Changelog:
 =============================
IMPORTANT: Developers Wanted!
=============================

Due to being very busy with real life, I'm afraid
I have to give up on the development part of
BasKet Note Pads. This really hurts me because it
is my "baby", but I have no choice: I haven't
programmed anything since version 1.0. BasKet Note
Pads has no developer anymore. Without new
developers, I'm afraid the project will have to be
stopped (and unavailable on KDE 4).

To learn more, see the mockups for 2.0, read the
vision and roadmap... go to this page:

BasKet calls for developers

I was surprised to see the devel list for Basket having about 50 messages
this month, and even one submitted patch. It really does not look like a
project without any developers, so I'm a bit puzzled with this. I wonder
if there are plenty of contributers who just for some reason do not get
called developers. What are they actually looking for?

BasKet calls for maintainer

A maintainer?

BasKet calls for maintainer?

No, it doesn't seem to be that either. The current one says this:

"My new role, as a project manager, is to coordinate the team, ensure we are all going toward the same goal, ensuring the application is polished enough...
I will package and release the versions, update the website, and do all those boring tasks for you to concentrate on having fun coding the future of note taking applications."

That's exactly the maintainer's work.
