code quality is great in some parts but that is largely irrelevent. The design is crappy in some parts (and I have seen crappy designs in production systems) and should be fixed and several design features should be actively discouraged. But that is also irrelevent. The basic fact is that no one has stepped up to maintain the code. Those that may of have left the the project or no longer use the code. If the product was more mature then this would be less of an issue but it isn't so it is. > Cornerstone should be released and once it is, there will probably be > some patches forthcoming.

Basic fact of the matter is that we can release software unless we are willing to maintain it. -- Cheers, Peter Donald He strains to hear a whisper who refuses to hear a shout. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
