Hey there.   It has been a while since I last looked at or worked on justCheckers.  And I’ve come to the realization that I have lost interest in working on it.  Finally it seems that there hasn’t been a community that developed around it. So I have come to the conclusion that I need to…

What does one do with a software project that has stagnated and needs a good push to move forward?  Rewrite in another language, obviously. While I say the above in jest, I plan on doing just that with justCheckers.  For years the project existed in Java, and was in fact started as a way for…

Just when you thought that the justCheckers project has languished into oblivion… it is back!  As part of a larger project to “finish what I started”, I plan on getting more work done on justCheckers.  The idea is to revitalize the project and make it fun to contribute to it on-and-off basis. One of the…

After working with Gitorious for a while, I found that the site did not work as well I had imagined as a Git service.  So I decided to take the plunge and create a GitHub account.  I found that GitHub does a much better job as Git service, and has a bunch of build in…

Hurrah!  The justCheckers project is now on Gitorious!  Check out our new spiffy, glorious  and currently very spartan setup there for managing and distributing our git and wiki stuff.  But wait folks there is more!*  I have also updated the Launchpad page for justCheckers, as the way to track bugs, feature requests and other project…

Just in case someone thought that this project is dead, I would to disprove them of this. I’ve resumed work on justCheckers with a slight change of direction. Over the past few months, I’ve started work as an Android developer for a media firm and I’d like to apply all that I have learned on…

Apologizes for the surprise website change.  However after months of silence and lots of haggling with Drupal, I just could not take it anymore.  So now the official justCheckers site runs on WordPress 3!  Yay! This website is still a work in progress.  I still need to upload the old content from the older Drupal…

I am e-mailing back all those interested in contributing to justCheckers. We also have one new developer: welcome pushdown! Finally the justcheckers-developers mailing list is back in action. I suggest all developers and potential contributers subscribe to the developer mailing list. Looks like we have a go for justCheckers!

Oh my, I must apologize to everyone who has offered to help with the justCheckers project.  It seems that my Gmail spam filter likes to chuck SourceForge related e-mails into the abyss of the spam folder. And I just noticed a whole thread of people offering to help with justCheckers! I apologize for not checking…

It took a while. A much needed upgrade, some changes to bring this site back into the larger multi-site effort I’m involved and some re-integration work back into SourceForge… and justCheckers is back! Finally there are no more blockers to getting back into coding, and hopefully moving this project forward. The plan is to finally…
