Re: Doing some work on Dia

I now see that the Google+ page has entries from 2014. Sadness.

There are probably authors out there to discuss Dia with:

Steffen is still out there:

I personally think Dia continues to be a worthwhile program.  I still use it. But I am not a coder, and I am happy using it as is.  I will be very disappointed when it falls out of OS support. It still runs what i want under Win10.

It seems no one can get in in touch with dia maintainers for years.

I expect that happened after SO complained "here" for a commercial distribution of dia, presented as a MS Visio clone (as I remain, a long thread tittled "Dia is a ripp-off").

If anyone wants to enlist as maintainer, I guess the only way is to writing to bugmaster gnome org , hoping they'll allow a new one.

See that page :

Steffen didn't have any activity on any channels I checked since 2014. Even more, all provided pointers on that page points to cybersquatting or 404.

Something has happened.
