It has not been removed, and it will not be unless and until such a decision is made after discussion on this mailing list amongst the developers. > This was due to concern regarding the increasing number of modules > being commited, and the likely hood these would be left unmaintained This is just silly. Do you have any idea how many packages we have in CVS that haven't been touched in ages? So what? > These are now all updated and available from get-e.org (thanks devilhorns) .

It should be up to the module authors whether or not they want to develop in our CVS tree or elsewhere, and whether or not they have abandoned their work or will continue maintaining it. Not once did anyone ask the module authors on this list how they wanted to handle this situation. This was a unilateral decision driven primarily by Hisham, though he apparently got raster's buy-in, and discussed only between the two of them while most of us were asleep. Does anyone else see a problem here? These kinds of decisions being made "behind closed doors" is not how an Open Source project should be. Nor should people's work be removed from CVS without their input and consent. This list is here for purposes of discussion. So people need to stop acting like such significant decisions can and should be made on IRC and start COMMUNICATING. To that end, I would suggest splitting up the individual modules so that each one builds and installs independently of the others. It's not hard to do; I did it for tclock and calendar already. So why not split the others up and let each module author control his own module rather than feeling like it's just part of a bigger pie? Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
