The development of CryptoPad has lately been quite lacking behind because we cannot dedicate enough time and resources to this task.

That''s why I would like to formaly send this request, so that CryptoPad can still be enhanced and be a popular application.

I''m ready to release the source code of CryptoPad as an *open source* project, under the GPL. I think this will create the momentum CryptoPad needs to attract developers.

Besides, I would like to set up a web site to host this project. This web site could also be developed as an open source project, using popular tools (PHP, mySQL, etc.). A web site could have a forum for developers and things like that. It is well possible to use already existing infrastructures for a start (eg. SourceForge).

With this infrastructure, we could publish regular updates and accept contributions and discuss technical matters...

If you would like to discuss the terms and conditions under which CryptoPad could be released as an open-source project, or if you would like to discuss the license; If you are a developer or web designer and you would like to help set up a project like that, please contact me so that we can arrange something.

Cheers.
