It would seem to me that at least for a couple of years Sigil will need heavy support and a clear vision of where it should go and in what sequence. This will require a heavy commitment from someone. I believe this will require one of the professional houses with the resources. Charging a fee for such effort would be reasonable. It would become an in-house tool made available to the great unwashed.

Without a central clearing house for enhancements, additions, and changes, versions of Sigil could proliferate bringing chaos and failure.

So, is there truly a user base out there to justify and maintain such an effort? Does anyone have any idea?

I believe that a discussion of ideas and problems would be beneficial.
Hi Charlie-

Has anyone thought abut approaching Kovid Goyal and his guys over at Calibre. They certainty have the talent and the manpower. As well, there is a great deal of synergy.

Just a thought. Regards - John
