Good news is the arcem-devel list has 25 subscribers now.

There's definitely a point to the list. There's been no off-list email past me for months until a couple of days ago when someone asked "can one of you two or three fix these file permissions". That snowballed into three or four emails where others were covering recent progress. That's when I stepped in and said "use the list". So it's no intended snub from what I can see, just an accident and an initial attempt not to disturb everyone with a triviality. > People seem to appreciate the Mac OS X port, and I don't mind doing > it, but I'm not going to bother if those developing ArcEm can't be > bothered to keep me informed about the project. There's an arcem-cvs list, but I see you're on that. I'd recommend it to others, it's pretty low volume ;-) I think the people putting in the current effort aren't telling anyone about it much, just plodding away with comments describing the changes going into CVS. I guess the fact two of them are brothers(?) may mean they have off-list chats in Real Life(TM).
