@P. Taylor, Thanks for the detailed recap. As you mentioned we did contact those authors hoping to hear back.
When I did the fork I did inform the original author: https://code.google.com/archive/p/java-gossip/issues/2 IIRC the owner this event with a like or a +1 (or whatever they provided), but with the state of google groups I find no way to prove this statement. :) Thanks, Edward On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 12:23 PM, P.
