Hi,

There were a message of your brother wich tell us he was seeking
for a job :
"I am currently looking for job, preferrably related to computer
graphics and/or free software. If you think you know something,
here you can find my resume."
http://lauris.kaplinski.com

But why there is nobody when Lauris is away ? Isn't it open source
with a group of persons ? I've sent many mails because I wanted
to add my graphics to the website but nothing ?

So what Lauris want ?
1. to be alone on this project and come back on it periodically ?
2. to let others developping the project when he go away ?

The silence during many months is not the best solution !

Note : I will not send money because I don't work since many
years but I can help with the best I can do ! But Lauris seems
to be not interesting by people like me...

So bye and hope for you the best !
Patricia
(for the fisrt time since many months, maybe the website will be
updated by the delete of french flags I made !!! Will see !)

Hi,
Lauris is my brother and I can say the following: he works on Sodipodi
periodically. He may be away for months and then he is back and takes
care of everything that has happened since. When that will happen is
unfortunately very much unknown and there is not much anyone besides
himself can do to bring him back ;)
The best,
L.

Well, I can understand the frustration.

But Lauris has already sacrificed a lot of time and energy to make Sodipodi
(with contributions from other people). You probably know that programming
simple things takes a lot of time and patience - how much more time and patience
is needed to make a program like Sodipodi!

Also, more importantly, Life is such a complex thing; who knows what might be
happening in his own Life right now...

I, too, hope that Lauris returns after a few months break to crank out a nice
update for Sodipodi. :)

By the way, I did my entire web site (in Mandarin and English) using artwork
that I created in Sodipodi:

www.symbols.124.us (English)
http://apol-mp.com.tw/~joshuantaiwan_apol-mp/symbols_tw.html (Chinese)

(Images exported as PNGs. Note: Sodipodi handles Asian text great - even better
than the GIMP.)
