I Agree partitial. Release Policy is not that easy, but there must be a transparent one. And we need new Relases and Bugfixes.
I understand, ist a lot of work behind that Project no question about. Some things are great, some not that big :-) Also lack of Documentation might be a reason why many uses dont wanna set up Dspam. Many oft them Struggle with the Documentation and some (me too) are a bit scared because ist not updated and nobody outside the mailling list is able to determine if this project is still running or not. So what we need (fromm y Point of View, maybe wrong one). 1. A Lifesign from the Core Team with an Release Policy (doesnt matter which Kind but anything we can deal with) 2. Actual Documentation, better Structured, and some proofed HowTos (min one for each installation method) and a guide Which kind of installation method would be recommended in relation to the size of the setup and the OS of the "customer = newusers" :-) 3. Better Communication System, Im sorry but a hardly Searchable, non cathegorized Maillinglist is nice fort he good old days (the one without spam, anyone remeber?) but we need something more structured. 4. maybe bugtracking system too but it would be also ok in a forum,.. everything is better than distribute it by an mailling list lol I guess many Questions, and many Time for everyone will be saved with that. 6. Developers Documentation so ist easier to make 3rd Party tools like an php interface or some major additonal ideas / plugins whatever ... 7. then we can talk about a new all in one bugfix release (because without point 1 to 6 ist nearly worthless) So ist easy to say what we need and want, but its a lot additional work. I dont think the core Team should do it. This should be a community work. So ill offer my Help and ask everyone to do the same. (Beside my horrible bad english i could restructure the documentation and things like that). Its also a thing of Motivation. Ive also driven some non commercal projects, but ist really hard to do your job for years and all you hear is help me please,.. do that please, we wanna have please (please in best case often they say hey what you did is bullshit do it better lol) So i hope community help is welcome (beside money i dont have *g*) and will help to remotived and show how really needed and important this project is. In Fact there is no real Filter/Quarantine System with Central Userwebfrontend out there. Ok some wired solutions on spamassing but nothing real great,.. ok there some things like maja and co but without this crappy cpanel spamassisn has no real useable webfrontend. So i thing the only reasy why these project has a much bigger community ist he hard access to dspam and bad communication. And i really belive with soem small bugfixes, some hard community driven communication and documentation, and finally some major new conceps in some ways dspam has still the abillity to get a major opensource project. A real major. Antispam/virus solution is nearly important like web and emailservers itself. And there is no real good alternative So i reall ybelive in the project but i also belive ist possible it will die sooner or later without support from us the users Best regards Rm PS: im sorry form y real bad english i hope most of you understand what im trying to say. If not just ask me ill try then to decrypt my english lol... -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 12:59 PM, Quanah Gibson-Mount <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --On Thursday, October 09, 2008 1:45 PM -0600 Jeff Ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> Are you ever going to release a new version, or are we supposed to keep >> building from CVS?
