Matthew-
You are correct... the idea of the 'big refactoring' has had the undesired effect of reducing fixes because people were expecting a major change in short order. I guess I'm saying the refactoring doesn't matter to me since we have needs now... if we can fix them now, lets just do it and get on with it. As far as publishing the ideas for the refactoring, its a moot point to me. We _know_ some of the problems that need fixing. Lets just worry about fixing them. And hey, if we do fix them, then the 'big refactoring' is moot anyways. - -- Virtually, Ned Wolpert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D08C2F45: 28E7 56CB 58AC C622 5A51 3C42 8B2B 2739 D08C 2F45 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://www.keyserver.net iD8DBQE8xu03iysnOdCML0URAqEeAJ9rBKIpaGbX78HEokbpZY6IbZDBegCdF9ab ZmyoroQQ1kojftSX3a8e09s= =Z2Y1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
