I am not sure what a "We're working on it" will buy us since then people will keep asking when it will come out. As a software developer you must know that time is not infinite and one has to weigh in a lot of factors when it comes to developing features and maintaining a product. *Personally* I'd like to see this feature come back, I just don't see it happening next week. > > Judging from the glacial response to bugs and feature requests, I'm > guessing the developers are not assigned to Google Code on a full-time > basis. Uhm? We're just under closing 1 issue (not counting duplicates and invalid issues) per working day over the last quarter or so while also working on exciting new things that in my view trump the updates page, especially for open source projects.

If you think you are up for it you can try and join the team and work on this feature as your first project :). - Lennard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
