--Rubbish. If you developers *really* "felt our pain" you'd DO something about it. --If you want people to have continued interest in this project, WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORTS should be the LEAST thing you should start doing. --Lots of us don't have time for mailing-lists. We come here to the forums when we get a spare moment, check for new posts, and catch up a bit. --If the PROGRESS is "on the harddrives of the individuals" -- WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO US??? --Learn from the Linux/Open-Source community: Release Early, Release Often. If it stays on your blasted HD's, we can't do a thing with it. --No offense meant, really -- but come ON, guys!! mman at martinman.net wrote: > Hi all, > > BVK wrote: > > > Also, > > > > Is there any pressure from SUN to shutdown this project?
