I am interested. The latest exim (4.66) is 2 years old, if it gets much older it will start to rot. I notice that 'tom' has been making changes ... There are some nice BOF rooms at that venue. I think that it would be very helpful if we were to prepare some kind of outline on what we would like to achieve. I'll chuck in a few suggestions to get the ball rolling: * Bug fixes - how we prioritise * Enhancements - what new features do we need * External changes - should we collect/merge back in ? I am thinking of changes that Linux-distros/... may have made. * Funding - could we pursuade some large corporates/... with a bit of funding that could be used to pay someone to do this -- perhaps part time. I nominate Niall & myself as scribes of the event -- to try and get some kind of report out to this list/whereever. -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 http://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers Ltd.
