SourceForge usernames

Ok, I have created a project in source forge. The link seems to be https://sourceforge.net/p/xara9registryed/wiki/Home/. I guess the first thing for people to do is join sourceforge and let me know so that I can add you to the project.
I will start figuring out how all this works!

Grace,

I've signed into Sourceforge. Screen name is SWW. Username swwinters. Let me know how I can help.

Question: Going forward, do you want development discussions here on this forum, or on the Sourceforge forum?

I've joined sourceforge My username is fproctor. I can't help with coding, but I can help with graphic design, logo design, website design, and testing.

I don't really see much point in continuing as Sledger has prompted us.

Well the decision is yours Grace but as far as I know Steve and covoxer's XaReg2 is not open source so an open source version could still provide The Xara community with a version that would always be accessible to be continued.

It's largely your call, Grace, as you've taken the lead on this. Programatically changing registry keys is relatively trivial, but the time to design a friendly UI, verify which settings should be included, document and test thoroughly for each version of each of the applicable Xara products, is not. That's primarily why I haven't pursued it myself before now as the time commitment is a major factor. And of course any time your messing with the registry, you do want to test well before making public.

If there is sufficient community support for it, it may be a worthwhile exercise. If nothing else, I think that documenting the various registry settings would be extremely useful.

Well last night I was really annoyed and ready to cancel the whole thing. But if everyone wants to continue, I am in. I am retired, so time commitment is not too big of a problem. Although, after retirement, I could never figure out how I fit work in

I want to see this through, as though absolutely nothing has changed, because it hasn't.

Here's just a rough graphical idea I had, Grace, because you'd mentioned the UI. This is a long ways from being a splash screen, but I'm posting it just for fodder for discussion.



My Best,

Gary
