Back into the fray

I have been on a hiatus from any of my leisurely coding pursuits. I had some deadlines on my current project for my real job, and spent the majority of the past two weeks and weekends working on finishing up some of those items. I completed most of those items on Friday so I am able to catch my breath and look into WorldWind .NET again.

Since I've been gone there has been discussions of setting up a Jira site for .NET that was apparently taken down right around when I signed up for world wind (yet another sign that I've jumped into an active healthy open-source community ;-)). So latest word is that they will probably shortly set up a new Jira instance on a WorldWind central server, then they will need to get the old Jira data from NASA.

In addition it looks like I've started to receive the emails from SourceForge with logs of everything checked in to SVN. Which is cool. Looks like a couple of members are starting to make modifications and updates. There is also an thread now of open 1.4.1 issues.

There are some issues with the download code for WW it seems. And when it was stated that no developers were around to fix it I stuck my head out again to let them know I was going to be helping soon. Some members wise-cracked that whomever works on the download code disappears in 7 days...

I'll try to spend some time this week, I have a couple of issues going on at work still that might take up my time. But I'm not giving up yet.
