> I am getting more than a little nervous about the future of Embperl. It is a valid concern. Embperl is great, but 2.0 has been in development for two or three years already - with a big red RSN-label on top.
Gerald privately almost two weeks ago, and have still received no reply. > Is he on vacation? Why not mention this to the list?

I'm not even at all certain Hostile take-over is not the way. Unless Gerald vanishes into thin air, of course. I still hope that he will get back and finish 2.0. But even then, the question remains - quo vadis ? Even if Gerald has got the time in the future, I think Embperl would benefit from being set up for more developers. You know, Sourceforge and stuff. But that's up to him to decide. > very supportive of Gerald and would like to make this work - I even > offered to try and have a go at writing an (English) book on Embperl, Embperl could be the engine for a lot of things on the Net. But as long as 2.0 is unfinished, the use of it will lack behind. I think that Gerald is the only one who can finish it in a relatively short period of time. Others will have to learn the code first. I suspect it will be a big task. > Believe me, I want to see Embperl develop and succeed. But the list > traffic is way down, and there haven't been any real progress on the 2.0 > beta in so long... I'm holding off myself until 2.0 is finished. I know others do too. -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2501 Howitzvej 75 Åben 12.00-18.00 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2000 Frederiksberg Lørdag 12.00-16.00 Web: www.suse.dk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
