It has been sometime since the guys at KentIndex left the MaxWebPortal fold and started up on thier own and to be honest support was never that great.  When MaxWebMODs come about there was a lot more activity and the 1.5 project has gathered the rest of the cummunity since the fall of MWP-Original.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However these guys it seems have not been taking it easy at all.  There is a total of three developments that I know of that use parts of MaxWebEdit they are MWEdit (of course), &lt;a href="http://enchantedvision.net"&gt;EnchantedVision (Artists Home)&lt;/a&gt; and KentIndex (AKA Globally Local).  All in all that is a lot of work for a team of such a small size to compleate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quote about to follow points to the latest development that allows KentIndex users the right to recomend new companies to be added to the index.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they could be talked into makeing a GNU release of this it would have great implications for the way we do the MaxWebLinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kentindex.com/default.asp?page=add"&gt;KentIndex Forums | Home&lt;/a&gt;: "BETA TEST (Stage-2) - This Form and it's processor are an early test stage and might be subject to changes and/or bugs.

In fact they were not documented at all. The MWP 1.34 guy had hidden code all over the show to enforse the footer and keep it in place. &lt;br /&gt;It turns out that he was over stepping his bounds and had little in the GNU Licnese to allow him to demand the footer be in place. &lt;br /&gt;So Infinity re-did the footer code and killed of the bad code. &lt;br /&gt;GNU MD5The MD5 code include carried the overbarring MWP lisence claim header dispite having no Max Web stuff in it. &lt;br /&gt;While the header of comment giveing rights to use but not share as a snippit came second. This rases moral and ethical issues if nothing else. &lt;br /&gt;MWE? 1.5Max Web Portal.info raises two new moral and ethical issues. First not enough is done to namespace this new project and mark the difference between it and the original development which has admitadly appeared to stall. &lt;br /&gt;The OSI might likely say that this is a fair move on the part of the MWP 1.5 group who are using Open Source Development license (GNU v2). &lt;br /&gt;However they are not useing the techniques of open source of development. It is still closed house like MWP 1.34 before it and Snitz before that. &lt;br /&gt;They are currently examining the possibility of paying the way for Max Web and yet they talk of obscuring the code which would not make this OSI compliant dispite the license they use. &lt;br /&gt;Becuase of this apparent lack of honour among the developers I have had cause to consider just how much of the footer they nag on about can be removed and still stick to the letter/spirit of the GNU v2.&lt;br /&gt;Any experts?

(not only because the US is still &lt;a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=13683"&gt;spam central&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1635443,00.asp"&gt;86%&lt;/a&gt; although this doesn't help, I'm sure.)  For a single (new) reason - the US Elections.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The general feeling among non-US users (who make up more than 60% of web users) is that the level of mention of that which is arguably an internal  affair has now reached the point that can be called &lt;a href="http://www.mad-den.net"&gt;abuse&lt;/a&gt;.  (I have to admit that I find the focus on US elections in slashdot news irritating as a non-US human.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this is simply a symptom of a much wider problem that can be embodied by the phrase: &lt;a href="http://www.vexen.co.uk/USA/hateamerica.html"&gt;"I hate the US!"&lt;/a&gt;.  However, this goes way beyond a few irrational and nasty terrorists with a preference for blowing things up.  It is focused strongly in Europe where, (with the man on the street), the general feeling is that it is safer to fight against the US in a war than with them as they tend to only shoot &lt;a href="http://members.aol.com/amerwar/ff/ff.htm"&gt;thier own&lt;/a&gt; guys.  The average European citizen can be heard to exclaim at least once a week "What do you expect - they're Americans!" in the same condescending tones we tend to save for talking about naughty children.  The UK, for example, has a wealth of amusing "In America they..." style stories and the "Arrogant American" has now surpassed the "foolish Irishman" in the general humour of pub jokes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This feeling has led to a UK best seller &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=themaddeninde-20&amp;path=tg/detail/-/0971394253%3Fv%3Dglance"&gt;"Why Do People Hate America?"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Independent (UK national newspaper) calls it "required reading." which is generally taken as an indicator of national opinion.  while Noam Chomsky is quoted as saying it "contains valuable information that we should know, over here, for our own good, and the world's."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This brings us full circle back to the question of how exactly are Americans helping their national image with the current &lt;a href="http://beautifultalker.blogspot.com/2004/09/non-us-post.html"&gt;torrent&lt;/a&gt; of political debate that can be fairly repetitive.

It is sorted by total points (gold).&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of these files are available from links on the thread linked to by this large section.
