Effective March 6, 2013, I am shutting down the EasyGui project.

The EasyGui software will continue to be available at its current location, but I will no longer be supporting, maintaining, or enhancing it.

The reasons for this decision are personal, and not very interesting. I’m older now, and retired. I no longer do software development, in any programming language. I have other interests that I find more compelling. I spend time with my family. I play and promote petanque. Life is good, but it is different.

During the course of my software development career I’ve had occasion to shut down a number of projects. On every occasion when I turned over a project to a new owner, the results were disappointing. Consequently, I have decided to shut down the EasyGui project rather than to try to find a new owner for it.

The EasyGui software will remain frozen in its current state. I invite anyone who has the wish, the will, the energy, and the vision to continue to evolve EasyGui, to do so. Copy it, fork it, and make it the basis for your own new work.
