I think, we have in the community enough people who care about the
*future* of Topic Maps and are not interested in fights / rifts in the
history of Topic Maps. Some committed persons who are sad that the
"topicmaps.org" is pretty outdated and that 'their' technology is not
well represented at such a prominent domain.
I think nobody objects if the history of Topic Maps (and
topicmaps.org) is presented there (and the agreement to keep a place
of for the history of Topic Maps is nearly two years old).

But the community sees no progress and asks why there is no progress.
I am happy, that Steve Pepper has announced that something will happen
at the topicmaps.org domain *soon*. :)

Sorry, but the design was not my main problem. Read "ugly" as "a not
very modern and fresh design with colors Lars Heuer likes". If we want
to keep the design, it's okay for me. I just want to see updates, and
if updates will happen soon, I am happy.

Best regards,
Lars
