Hi,

I've been working on enhancing APE to meet the needs of my specific
application, and its working pretty well. I've actually
reverse-engineered how to write a C module (the spidermonkey stuff was
too slow for my liking), written my own JS library for working with APE
without the requirement for wildcard DNS (plus, its less than 300 lines
of code) and now I've recently added ZeroMQ support to APE.

The problem is, from what I can tell, the APE project never seems to
import changes from anyone but the weelya team. There's over a dozen
forks with commits on Github, but from what I can tell, *none* of those
forks has ever been merged with mainline (some even seem to be fixing
the same bugs twice because the older fix was never pulled in mainline).

Also, there's patches floating around the mailinglist in a similar
state, I needed syslog support in APE (because the built in logger
doesn't support ANY form of log rotation) and I found that APE doesn't
actually support syslog (the config file is straight out misleading).
Luckily there was a pretty good patch in the mailing list archives but,
surprise, surprise, it never got merged or even commented on by anyone
in a position to merge it.

Basically my question is, what is the point of having APE open source at
all if you aren't engaged with people trying to improve and enhance your
stuff? At least give me some hope that my patches will get *looked* at.

Andrew
