I too am somewhat baffled by the move.  It doesn't sound like it's  
Lee's intent to fork the code (I may be wrong).  If it is his intention 
to fork the code, then the project should take on it's own name.  
Hylafax should remain with the main branch.  I know Lee is one of the 
more prominent posters to this list.  I don't know how involved he is in 
the coding as I'm not on the developers list.

There are some reasons why I might want to code forked (as was brought 
up on this list last week, the mysql logging).  But as I mentioned, I 
was able to rework a few of the scripts with perl and get everything 
working for my client's purposes.

Lee, feel free to explain your intentions and future goals for this 
SourceForge site.

Regards,

Darrick
