Last I heard he said that he is too busy and "tired" of the Winboard project. I
have a feeling something will get done eventually though, whether it's Tim who
does the work or someone else, I don't know.

I've considered creating my own enhanced version of Winboard which would support
my own new features. I'd consider writing it if people would get together enough
and get the protocol version 3 drafted. I'm afraid that while I may have some
good ideas about some things that need to be added, others are far more wise and
knowledgable about what needs to be added and what doesn't, and I don't think it
would be wise for me to create a new protocol version entirely on my own. In six
months everyone would just be complaining again about how Winboard doesn't do
this or that...and nothing would be accomplished :)

I think a new Winboard protocol version, along with an upgrade in the Winboard
GUI (making it look a little prettier and more organized) would rock for sure :)
