Folks,

To continue the ongoing discussion regarding changes for 1.3, here is the
next bit of information which is now pretty solid and can be announced.

>From now on, GrowlMail and GrowlTunesPlugin will be developed by Rudy
Richter. Rudy has worked on The Growl Project since 2004. This change is due
to a decision to help eliminate things which fully distract from the goals
of The Growl Project. GrowlMail will be here from now on, including releases
and support. Be aware that should Rudy decide that GrowlMail is no longer
maintainable, that he wants it to be 10.7 only, that he wants to charge for
it, or anything else, that's his decision. At this point GrowlMail is no
longer part of The Growl Project other than to provide a download for the
plugin until he's ready.

The future of GrowlMail is fully in Rudy's very capable hands. Once Rudy is
fully ready, we'll change the GrowlMail page to reflect this change in the
direction of plugin.

GrowlTunesPlugin is also moving to github under Rudy's control, here:

https://github.com/rudyrichter/GrowlTunesPlugin

GrowlTunesPlugin is not GrowlTunes. It is a yet unreleased plugin for iTunes
and was to replace GrowlTunes. However, it was never released. Hopefully
Rudy can get this guy released after 10.7 comes out.


Hopefully these changes mean that going forward, The Growl Project can
better focus on working on Growl and the Extras that remain with the
project, and that GrowlMail and GrowlTunesPlugin get the focus that they
need as well. This change should help everyone as far as I'm concerned.
Those who wait for months for updates to GrowlMail upon every os x release
should be very aware that any change to help with productivity here is a
good thing.
