[squeak-dev] opencroquet.org,Expires on 13-OCT-09

Hi all,

for historical reasons I ended up holding and somewhat involuntarily
sponsoring the opencroquet.org domain since it came into existence. Next
expiration date is 10/13 and I would like to transfer it to someone.
Mails to the possible candidate parties failed to solicit any response
(other than we will look into it) so I'm writing to the list to get a
wider audience.
If nobody picks up the domain it will *not be renewed* so I'm hoping
this will generate the proper attention :-)

Cheers

Michael

Dear Michael,

It really couldn't happen, that opencroquet.org domain will expire!
If the "possible candidate parties" are not responding, I could suggest me in voluntarily sponsoring it from the 10/13 further.

Best regards,
Nikolay Suslov

What happened to the original Croquet project? Did they fold?

I think Rick just got a bit too busy. I'll be happy to pick it up in the
meantime. Who is the registrar?

Cheers,

The domains opencroquet.org and croquetproject.org both point to the
same host at duke.edu, so the project is technically speaking still
supported by Duke University.
However, the latest "news" on that website is from June 2008 and the
most recent change was on December 19, 2008.
That does not look like hot activity :-(

Cheers,
Hans-Martin

Great, thanks!

It's registered at register.com, a simple transfer request should start
the process.

Thank you for the kind offer!
It seems though Andreas will pick it up.

Looks like you need to initiate it:

Thanks for checking, seems like they changed it. Or I remembered it
incorrectly ;-)

Yeah, I think they changed it. Thanks, it's all taken care of now (and
I'll have dinner with Rick tomorrow anyway ;-)
