Transgui: sourceforge project should be closed or redirect to github

Created on 17 Apr 2018  ·  7Comments  ·  Source: transmission-remote-gui/transgui

untill today the first hit in google is the sourceforge project page:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/transgui/

I think a lot of users, including me, are still using the old version because nowhere does it mention this github.

The README file of this repo says:
"Copyright (c) 2008-2019 by Yury Sidorov and Transmission Remote GUI working group"

The project name here is Transmission Remote GUI. So, this does not sound like a fork, but rather like the continuation of the original project. If this is a fork, not endorsed by the original author, I think it should be called in some other way, to avoid confusion.

I'm not sure if @leonsoft-kras has permission on that?

I don't know how to make this version in Google first.

We have no relation to the version of sourceforge project.
This version is accompanied by the author of the program (Yuri Sidorov, as far as I understand).

So Yuri Sidorov is the original creater, owner of the sourceforge page, but is not affiliated with the project anymore?

@Jimbolino this is the forked version

What's the update on this? Are we just copying the original project including the name and the copyright??

You fork code, not copyrights...

@ibex-are-goats It’s called “fork” I think, just try to continue its development
