Folks Sorry I've been offline a while, I've had other priorities to take care of.
I will be sad to let Depot go, but I suspect it is time. I am starting to believe that without a lot more community drive (or just outright individual stubbornness to continue) that something like a version/repository idea is too much to pull off. Further, I suspect that Javasoft ought be handling it, not other groups. Also, I do suspect we tried to do too much (and yes, I probably was over enthusiastic and helped over engineer some parts) so couldn't keep up with it. That, and (for me) the transition into incubation caused too much environment awkwardness, and I lost momentum. Whatever the case, long and the short is that we didn't seem to build on a simple use case, we didn't use it first and code it second. Basically it stagnated underneath us. I don't think I'll ever quite understand why, but despite technical merits (IMHO) something just didn't spark others. Maybe marketing, maybe star alignment, definitely community. That all said, I really really struggle with this. So much effort, so much good stuff, so close. Gak! I hate letting go. regards, Adam
