now that your work on 1.3 has gained momentum, we should really discuss what to do with it to take the best of both worlds into lenya 3.0... the current situation is somewhat unfortunate - i'm sure there are many good ideas in 1.3, but i have no time to track it, and i guess the same is true for the other 2.0 devs. it would be really great if you gave a 1.3 presentation at a lenya hackathon one of these days - got any vacation plans to old europe? if not, we should dedicate an IRC session to that topic eventually... -- Jörn Nettingsmeier "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
