I profoundly agree — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.152.17.239 (talk) 08:41, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Huh?
I just discovered this software and the behaviour of the developer (ceasing development because of the opinions of wikipedia users) dumbfounds me. Why would anybody care about such a thing? Especially considering it's FOSS so the publicity/marketing of a wikipedia article isn't really important, e.g. sales. His reaction reminds me of that of a child/teenager. The opinions of wikipedia admins/whatever does not represent the appreciation of your users! Why the hell would you let some encyclopedia editors affect the fate of your life's work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.9.147.68 (talk) 17:02, 13 December 2011

Talk pages are supposed to be about the article
At the risk of recursive assertion: all the discussion up to January 5, 2011 is about Wikipedia administration and its consequences, not about the article. I would say it belongs somewhere else, not in Talk:BOUML. Ramorrismorris (talk) 20:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

No longer free
I'm not sure that "free software" applies any longer to BOUML. It appears to have moved to http://www.bouml.fr and the software now requires a license at a cost of 50€ per year, per computer. The only part of the software you can use for free is the BOUML Viewer, but you do not have the ability to save a project. Mtylerb (talk) 03:02, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

A fork is operational
The original may have gone closed-source but we have an(almost) working open source Qt4 fork at : https://github.com/leonardo2d/douml/tree/StrWrapper This fork has been pretty much dead for a year but I have picked it up at the end of February and by now (10.03.2012) I have fixed almost all porting errors. (there are probably ones I have not found yet) The way I see it - this fork will fix Bruno's rather questionable UI decisions that made workflow kinda similar to operating meat grinder.(too much circular mouse movement) The fork is based on 4.22. If all goes well the fork should be stable and have some improvements by the beginning of April. Current version is only testing as I cannot guarantee that it works correctly.Zeksirina (talk) 14:55, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the note. I am considering updating the top of this page with something like this:


 * If you want to discuss the original BOUML software, its website is http://www.bouml.fr/ Some forums are also available.
 * A fork named douml has been started, and some preliminary code is available here, its forum pages are here.
 * This page is only meant for discussing improvements to the BOUML article. Rants of the form "Wikipedia is mean!!!" will be summarily deleted, as they add nothing to the discussion.
 * Thank you for your kind understanding.


 * Anything else? Regards, Comte0 (talk) 01:01, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Yup, By now we have a working win32 version at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/douml Linux users can build it from this repo: https://github.com/DoUML Zeksirina (talk) 13:29, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
