[LAD] Impro-Visor created on sourceforge

[Robert Keller]

Dear linux-audio developers,

I have created New Project https://sourceforge.net/projects/impro- 
visor/ for Impro-Visor, which is its correct name. I will populate the  
source later today, as I need time to get acquainted with their  
system, but I have to be off right now to another important meeting  
for the afternoon and can't do it instantly. The source I will post  
will be our version 4.0.

Regarding the assertion made earlier by another that I did not contact  
sourceforge about the fork 'improvisor', see the forwarded message.  
The fact that SF did not remove the other project immediately does not  
mean they won't. Not everything happens at lightspeed. It would be a  
true indication of courtesy and cooperation if the creator of that  
project were simply to remove 'improvisor' as a possible source of  
confusion. If not, I will consider the options regarding this action.

Forking at 3.39 would not really be a problem for me, but it seems  
that there would be less stress and duplication of effort overall if  
we were to proceed as I am suggesting. A year of development has been  
put in between 3.39 and 4.0. (Why so long, you ask? For one thing  
because of changes started by students, but not integrated, sometimes  
take a long time to integrate.)

And yes, I do wish to be in control of my own project, which has been  
in existence for four years. It seems reasonable to me. I DO intend to  
accept contributions, however.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Regards,

Bob Keller
