What is the protocol for forking someone else's project on here and reposting it? Do I seek permission from the original author, or is it basically free game? This will be my first xbmc addon project.

I'm not sure there is one but it's usually a good idea to reach out to the original author. Given how long the project has been stale I'm pretty sure he will agree with the fork. We need to move the project to github anyway since google code is being retired.

I tried to send a private message on here to him, but for some reason I don't understand, my account can't send pvt messages. Have you guys seen this before? I'm logged in and my account is activated. His original post says to submit posts here to contact him. His account hasn't been used since a year ago according to his profile. Maybe he has pvt messages turned off. I would think if he checks the thread he'll see these posts, and if so please let me (us) know if you are okay forking your project. I plan to show credit to his original work in the addon.

Currently the code I'm working on isn't on github but I will do so in the very near future. Just yesterday I was learning how to create a repo of my own on my own server to host the addon, not knowing if there would be any interest. But since you guys are obviously interested and may want to contribute, it may be a good idea for me to post it there. Give me a day or two to get it up.
