Hello everyone,

I have been discussing with a few members of the "old community" and
I decided to change the release model and to place everything
(compiler included) in the public domain. 7 years ago, I figured that
CLAIRE would either pick up (thanks to the effort of ExpertSolution)
or die.

It turns out that neither have occured. There is enough value in
CLAITR to keep it alive, even though it is too exotic (and not enough
investment has been made to make it robust, simple and publicized
enough) to catch. On the other hand, the current distribution policy
is preventing the newcomers to take ownership of the existing system.
It is time to open up !

I have a small stack of pending bugs to fix first. Since those are
bugs that I found on my own, I was under no pressure to fix them
quickly (they are linked to the use of some compiler options, so I
simply changed the option ...)

I'll return in April with a more definite plan.

Cheers,

-- Yves Caseau

PS: as you may have noticed, I am now restricting the arrival of
newcomers to get rid of spam. I'll admit anyone who write a short
sentence to tell me he/she wants to join :)
