[Linux_news] Re: [Uml-devel] updated admin/ directory

[Gustavo Madrigal]

I agree in forking the project and changing the name, but first lets try to 
contact Paul (last call). I can help with project managing too.

I have not worked with Savannah, and KDE CVS (kdenonbeta) does not sound bad, 
I have been using UML in my company for about 6 months and it works good 
enough (besides the missing features).
