Hi mate, please apologize for the late reply, there are no excuses from my side but the short version is that I am in the middle of a ramp-up time at work in my new Job, that I just started on December, and currently I have almost 0 cycles to everything I like to do.
I'll sends a more detailed email during the weekend to share my thoughts. Anyway, I am with you on hating to see Any23 moved to attic or somewhere else to mark that the project lost interest - please consider me `currently idle` but I haven't left. Thanks a lot for leading that discussion, much more than appreciated! All the best, -Simo http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 11:59 PM, Lewis John Mcgibbney <[email protected]> wrote: > **REPOSTING THIS HERE FROM PRIVATE@** > > Hi All, > After debating this in my own head for some time, I thought I would bring > it to our private@ list in the hope of invoking discussion about our > community. > > I am optimistic that the Any23 community is not dead, that I am not banging > my head off of a brick wall, and that we can build and push more releases > in the process. > > I would also however like to consider myself a realist.
