Yes, I wish that too.

I don't think there is an urgent need to do anything drastic. I think the ball is largely in Filippo's court. Do they wish to inject direction, energy and technological developments into this community, or do they wish to supplant this community with one of their own? In the meantime, we could look at their code, and decide whether there are some improvements that they have made which could easily be incorporated into, say, SME8.1. --- Charlie _______________________________________________ Discussion about project organisation and overall direction To unsubscribe, e-mail [email protected] Searchable archive at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/public/discussion/
