My point really wasn't that this list is a great place for new non-Instiki product announcements... > 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. ...it was that it seems to me that we *have* something specifically for Instiki news right now: this mailing list! While it's possible that I missed it, none of the information about the new maintainer, work starting again, or even the re-availability of the Instiki web site and Trac (both of which had been down for quite some time) was sent to this list. I doubt I'm the only one who was left with the impression that Instiki was a dead project, and were that to be the case, "what product still under active development can we use as an Instiki replacement" would be a pretty logical topic for the users mailing list. This may be a rather moot point now, of course, but I think the general point remains. This list is here expressly to communicate with Instiki users. When something major happens -- like, say, new developers restarting the project! -- dropping at least a quick note here about the news seems like a good thing, even if it's just "New maintainers, check the web site for details." :) - Watts -- Watts Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Instiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/instiki-users
