It's bound to happen people come and go. The problem is to get MORE people involved. IMHO doing technical work at this point isn't going to help much. HUGE improvements have occurred in the language, build system, libraries (to a lesser extent, but typeclasses should help there). It's actually possible these improvements are driving people away rather than attracting them: it makes the project more complex, and less accessible to those who are not "in the know" already. There's also the problem I start something and don't finish it. Many new features simply aren't tested or documented at all, let alone 'adequately'. The problem is basically: how do a bunch of geeks get enough marketing types interested to do the required advocacy work to get even more people. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
