Did you write to Tilo Muetze? It's doubtful that he would have ignored your message.

Someone else has contacted me, who is planning to join in the Marathon development. He's not subscribed to this list though and he doesn't so far appear as a gMarathon project member....

...Jason has already provided free IBO licensing to the person referred to above, for this project. I'm interested in getting involved myself, as well. It would be a good project for IBO users to get behind...

>Claudio, could you have a look at Marathon and tell me how we could "take control" of it?

It is not a question of "taking control of it". Tilo Muetze is the active Admin of gMarathon. You can catch up on the latest at http://www.alanti.net/firebird/marathon/ .

I'm sure Tilo would be overjoyed to hear from a bunch of IBO practitioners. :))

cheers,
Helen
