Hi, (Ah, now I'm starting to touch the interesting threads.)

Interesting idea. If this is supposed to be a fork, do you have any
further plans, like a roadmap or a feature list in mind?

The planned bugfix release is annoyingly on schedule. We are firmly
within phase 2 of the release plan, called "Fix bugs".
Now,
1. I admit that my initial ETA was last April. While I planned to get
into bug fixing myself quite a bit, I didn't expect to do it all
alone (props to the few exceptions).
2. One of the roles of a release manager is communication, and I
sucked at that for the past months. My apologies, Real Life along
with an attack of fedupyngitis (see point 1 above) prohibited most
work for NEdit until a few weeks ago.
That said, the most severe and most elusive bug somehow became a minor
issue after my long break. If a similar effect shows for the other
release criticals, I'm confident to have them all closed in the next
weeks.
However, the more important point comes after the release. My draft
for a road map (must be 2+ years old now) is largely ignored, so I
wonder: Would you prefer the random way NEdit struggled forward (and
it did!) in the past or do you think another method should be used?
