It is fine to hear, that there are serious attempts now to move forward with the threads library. If you need a voluteer I would like to put an offer. I am used to the Win32 API and have a special interest in work on the TSS part. (Especially the annoying DLL issue.) I had already some contacts to Michael Glassford who seems for me to be a very careful one when it comes to design considerations. However it would be too bad if we needed a _complete_ rewrite of the threading library. Could anyone please drop me some lines why this should be necessary at all? Is the new license thus incompatible to the old one? Wasn't there already an established procedure of how to move forward in case of a dropped out contributor? As far as I understood the procedures, it should be sufficient to have the code undergo a new review. If the old license does not explicitely forbid this we can reuse the proven good parts of the code (and there is lot of it!) in the renewd threads lib. Any thoughts? Roland
