I have followed cooker since beta3 and I have been badly surprised by the lack of reliability of the mailing list. Maybe replace it by a private news server as suggested by another poster would be a good idea. I got the impression that some developers were reluctant to use the mailing list; for example, I posted a message about net_monitor, got invited to post code, did it, got absolutely no answer, reposted in case the code had been lost, in vain, gave up, then noticed that the code had been indeed added to net_monitor. No discussion, no question, no one but myself and (I hope) the Mandrake developer had the occasion to test my code. Very strange. Bad communication is usual in open source but I have never seen something like that until cooker. Gerard
