Written for Netrek Client COW by James Cameron on 2009-06-16

The source code for netrek-client-cow continues to be maintained in darcs, please ensure that any patches or changes are pushed upstream _out of launchpad_ to the distributed development team. The project repository is http://www.netrek.org/repos/netrek-client-cow/ and developer repositories are described in the file REPOSITORIES, the release engineer's repository is http://james.tooraweenah.com/darcs/netrek-client-cow/ ... while we may later move to bazaar there are no significant contributions at this time to merit the effort, and all current developers are capable of using darcs.

I have noticed that the Netrek Project has been a featured project on the Launchpad homepage for quite some time, but I thought it would be nice to bring it to the attention of the community. Its amazing that we have drawn enough attention to get this honour.
