Let me ask a naive question and, please, when you read this, realize that I am not in the slightest bit being facetious. Also, I'm jumping into the middle of this thread.
Why not take a snapshot and put in a fix for yourself? Post the fix to the group and if it fits into Thomas' refactoring plan, it will be put in. If not, then at least you get the turn around for a fix that your project needs. Isn't that what OpenSource is about?

It does, at least for now. You might have seen the "Plea for info ..." thread on castor-dev, where me and two colleagues of mine are trying to establish whether major bugs (or "change requests", as Thomas calls them) will get resolved in the near future (based on messages found in the archives about 8 months ago). I guess we are just afraid that we will have to abandon Castor as one of our tools to use as our expectations towards bug resolution(s) have not been met. Now I know that Castor is open-source, but Thomas has made it very clear that he doesn't appreciate more developers due to ongoing refactoring. It's just a bit of a dilemma we are facing here, and we are trying to find a way to a) help you fixing this one particular problem. b) help you identifying the problem (but it seems like Thomas exactly knows what the problem is anyway) c) get an idea what the problem really is (whether it's just a problem with the OQL Query builder) d) etc. Thanks Werner Bruce Snyder wrote: > Werner Guttmann wrote: > > > > excuse my curiosity, but what's the last time this contributor list has been > > updated?
