Hey everyone,

I've noticed people are starting to get a bit restless around here. I 
suppose you all deserve a bit of an explanation.

Fluent NHibernate is not dead; however, it is severely neglected. The 
reasons I'll go into in a moment, but I don't intend on letting the project 
die; it may just have to remain in its neglected state for a while longer. 
The pull requests are occasionally being dealt with, but it's only me here 
now and I just simply don't have the time to deal with it.

Help would be appreciated, but I don't expect it. If anyone wants to, get 
in touch (james @ jagregory.com); I'm more interested in project management 
help than code right now, as we're still fairly active on that front 
(contributors, that is).

There isn't really a roadmap at this point in time, due to lack of 
activity; but I've always planned on getting a 1.3/4 release out then 
pushing on to a cleaner-tighter 2.0 release; when that'll happen is 
anyone's guess right now.

Personal stuff: feel free to skip if you've heard enough. So the reason for 
all this slacking is that I've quit my job in London, relocated to 
Australia, and joined ThoughtWorks in Sydney (and now temporarily in 
Melbourne). It's a big move, quite literally halfway around the world. I'm 
having to reestablish myself over here and that's a very time consuming 
experience; new country, new job, new city, new friends, etc... My 
priorities have shifted entirely away from non-essential projects and once 
the day is over, the last thing I want to do is boot up the VM and crank 
out some code. I hate to dissapoint people, and I hate to neglect FNH, but 
my priorities have (temporarily) changed.

Hope that at least clarifies what some people are thinking. Feel free to 
ask any questions and I'll do my best to actually answer.

Cheers,
James

P.S. Mailing list messages - sorry about that. Google Groups apparently 
decided to stop notifying me of new messages. All outstanding ones have
