Watts, I agree with Matthias on this one. The "hey, I found a new wiki that's sorta/kinda cool" is ok, but I would consider a feature discussion on, well, anything not instiki as off-topic. (note, this is not a comment on the validity/non-validity of the other product, just that this is not the right place for it)
Now, going through your e-mail, there were a few questions on current status, maintainer information, etc and if you go to www.instiki.org, it should answer some (all?) of your questions. You do bring up a good point about communication, and I was just thinking, if communication is the problem, maybe what we need is an RSS feed specifically for Instiki news..... just an idea.

And that work would be visible where, exactly? I apologize for how sharp that probably sounds, but the last Instiki release is nearly a year old. > if you really want to do something instiki-related, submit back some > patches or feedback, bugfixes, whatever. you can do that on > http://dev.instiki.org Again, I'm sorry for the sharpness, but that's been down for so long I stopped checking months ago. I gather you're ostensibly the Instiki maintainer now -- great. Do you think perhaps announcing that to the Instiki users mailing list (i.e., right here) might have been a good idea? I sure didn't know that until I just looked. You didn't even respond to the thread last month on "Status of Instiki and i2," and I bet I'm not alone in having assumed that the complete lack of answers from anyone maintaining the software meant nobody WAS maintaining the software. Don't blame users here for having started to treat this less as the Instiki Users List (not developers, note!) but as the Former Instiki Users Looking For Actively Developed Projects List. With all due respect, I think it's great that you're taking over development, but you (and other active contributors) might want to consider, oh, posting what's going on to the users' mailing list here -- introducing yourselves, telling us where things stand now and where you'd like to take them. Because bluntly, we've been left in the dark for a year, and while you may have taken over the Subversion repository, you haven't switched on the lights in here. -- Watts Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Instiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/instiki-users
