[htoolkit-users] HSQL defunct?

[Frederik Eaton]

Hello all,

I don't mind maintaining HSQL, if no one else will do it, but I'm not
really an ideal person since I don't use the library in my current
work. Any other takers? I'll wait a few days and see if someone else
is interested...

Best regards,

Frederik
