So now that FoxFour is leaving (at least he announced he was leaving last time I checked), who is going to take over is duty on the API?

By the way I still do not understand why you could not manage to retain such a great person at CCP...

CCP Tellus already pretty much owns the XML API, he does far more development on it than I do. CCP Bartender is learning CREST and already deployed multiple changes and new resources. CCP SnowedIn is also enthusiastic with helping to improve the third-party development community. He has some really cool ideas that I am sure you will all love when you hear about them.

There is nothing CCP could have done. I am moving back to Vancouver for personal reasons. Family over work. :)

That's what Foxfour says.

What I say is, the conditioning didn't take right with him.

Though he does get a little twitchy when someone plays Beethoven.



(While I'm sure we'll miss him, Team Techco have the API/Crest as part of their bailiwick, rather than the way it used to be, where it was a side project for one person. We're in a far better position now, then just before Foxfour came in)

Woo! CSM XI!

Thank you for answering FoxFour.

All I have to say now is:

I loved your work.
It was a real pleasure to get to use what you gave us.
So good luck to you in Vancouver, hoping you don't get too wet from the rain.
Warp safe.

Raincouver is a very nice place indeed ... the countryside, the pacific, the food... Big smile
