A few weeks ago, Intel Mac support was on the agenda for the Chandler

Since Chandler now runs on Intel Macs, we were obviously mistaken.
We were all mistaken. No amount of email coordination would have made it
any faster or better. What unblocked this issue was the unexpected arrival
of a set of patches developed by Sandro Tolaini making gcj 4.0.2 functional
on Intel Mac OS X. Until then, the word on the gcj mailing list [1] had
been that Intel Darwin support wasn't going to be released until gcj 4.2.0
which is nowhere close to being released, ie many months away.
Me having my facts wrong about the Intel Mac stuff doesn't detract from the
point of the original message - it illustrates what happens when you lack
public information. I'm sure people are tired of me saying this stuff. I'm
tired of having to say it, too. But it boils down to this: If we are going
to call ourselves an open source project, we have to act like it.
