There is a new post on gmane.mail.alpine.info (which reflects the
alpine list at http://www.washington.edu/alpine/alpine-info/) from Steve
Hubert, in the name of the alpine team, responding to a post from Robert
Holtzman titled "alpine status."
It says there will be a new release soon, and that UW will remain
the primary source, "but shift our effort from direct development into
more of a consultation and coordination role to help integrate
contributions from the community."
Sounds to me like they've been studying Fedora or something like
it -- and may soon be inviting others to help code. Strength to their
arms!
