Hi,
You are right Andrew. Since a few month we have slowed down the
development of the project caused by some issue with our company
(indeed, building a company based on an open source software is not that
easy and involve a lot a money issue) and we are not involved on the
community anymore.
Moreover, there is no "legal" place to post patch/issue and so forth.
For what is worth, I can tell you that I'll start to work again on the
project in a couple of weeks, to *finally* release the 1.01 and try to
look at what has been provided by the community.
Btw, I started to work (from scratch) to the 2.0.

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
