How to revive an abandoned project?

Hi,

I would like to revive the ANJEL project.

The name is taken but nothing is there.

I have the last two releases, and a beta that was never released. The code is GPL.

Any suggestions of what to do next?

Re: what is the sql statment to add a content item?

Thanks,

I was mostly concerned that I needed to add to the count field in jos_categories, or jos_sections.

I have three test sites to play with, but once I do the live update I don't want to find a small oops that requires reverse engineering the mistake and putting things the right way..

The benefit of having a "fundraiser" interface, hopefully sharing logins with the CMS. is that it allows a clean user interface that is devoted solely to the task at hand.

Re: The term artifacts

Here is a link that describes how one group releases software with sourceforge.

It may help inspire someone to do this for our souceforge. Or at least gives a methodology for releasing software on sourceforge that seems to work.

A link to a quick subversion how-to would be nice.

There is a thread that has a tortoise / svn how-to on it.

I will look to see if I have one for the command line. (the basic cvs commands work if you replace cvs with svn so modifying the mozilla cvs guilde should work.

The term artifacts

Is it possible to globally change the artifact to bug and artifacts to bugs?

Non standard terminology makes the clunky interface that is SourceForge even worse.

People report bugs, not artifacts.
