Well I would say that, since the time that there *has* been a `*prominent*
link to the JDK 1.2 status', the number of 1.2 questions has dropped off
dramatically. Before that, for a few weeks there was NO 1.2 information at
all --- and lots of questions. And before that, there was a
couple-of-month-old status more or less `sorta works, sorta doesn't, sorta
soon, dont ask' --- and there were lots of questions. So, it's not purely a
RTFWP issue.
Now, I know that sounds like I'm a lazy ingrate, ragging on those generous
folks who are giving their time, free, to port this thing. That's farthest
from the truth. My guess is that they would probably SAVE time by updating
the status every few days or so instead of sifting through all the When mail,
the flames and counter flames. AND, peace 'n harmony will prevail.
