Maybe you might actually consider lending a hand in helping to find a solution instead of complaining in BOLD. David, Raphael, Paul, Nacho and the rest of Jetspeed developers all volunteer their time to help you and everyone else who uses Jetspeed. The releases may not be as frequent or as well documented as you would like, but it is in your power to fix this by helping. > OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A SETUP PROBLEM.

Maybe there is a disconnect between the users and developers but you as a user who cannot get this to work are in an ideal situation to find out what the problem is and document a solution. As often is the case the core developers have setups that are tried and tested and can sometimes miss things that are not at all obvious to inexperienced users. You can fix the problem once and for all with a little digging, documenting and testing. If you're not will to fix it why do you expect anyone else to? The core developers of Jetspeed do what they can and need help when problems like this arise. > Inquiring minds really would like to join the in-crowd and get their setup > so it will work like everyone else who apparently can run these releases. Like I said it's in your power to fix the problem. Just because you report the problem doesn't mean a solution is imminent. And it's not likely that too many developers are going to go out of their way to help someone who sends a somewhat accusatory messages to the list, even if borne out of frustration. Trust me it won't get you very far and it certainly won't help you garner any help from the people who actually work on the project. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Sean Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 1:41 AM > To: 'Jetspeed Users List' > Subject: Jetspeed release 1.3a2 candidate > > > There is a 1.3a2 release candidate at > > http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-jetspeed/release/v1.3a2/ > > If you get a chance, please give it a try and let us know how it works for > you. > > The documentation is updated at http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- jvz.
