Gant is to be deleted, or will someone preserve it?
Hi,
Way back in 2006, Gant was an experiment in scheduling Ant tasks and attempted
to be a build system. Hans Dockter experiment a lot with it, but in the end
Gant was not the way forward and we got Gradle. Excellently done Hans (and
Adam).
Gant was still used by GINT for a while so was maintained a bit. However Gint3
will now use Gradle.
Thus does Gant come to its end of existence.
It is my intention to delete *everything* unless someone wants to take control
of the Gant group on GitHub to preserve the code for posterity.

Thanks for all your work on Gant Russell.
Gant is still a part of the build system at my last company although there
are no longer any developers.
Gant enabled us to manage the creation of thousands of Flash objects of
varying complexibility.
Thank you.

An alternative is to "archive" the project in GitHub. It's going to be
read-only (see the "settings" tab).

Someone, or some people, then needs to step up and volunteer to be an owner of
the Gant organisation on GitHub.

I do feel I need to add another owner to the Gant Organisation before
archiving, so if you are up for that, I think we have a way forward.
