We also have a CD-rom image with all available packages/functionality. We are just able to put all basic functionality on a floppy, which is nice in my opinion. Extra functionality is available by adding packages.
I think other projects are gaining users because they have a nice webconf interface and are easier to setup by less advanced users, not because they're technical better (in the contrary). We have a nice webconf framework, written by Nathan, but there are only a few persons so far who wrote a package for it..... And we only have limited time. To gain users we should do something about the user experience, but as long as nobody steps up to create 'lwp' (webconf) packages, there is not much we can do about it. > From our project goals: Maintain as small a footprint as > possible for release/branch target installations. > > SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards > http://sourceforge.net/awards/cca/ > >It's been a long time since I've seen leaf mentioned in a magazine or >nominated for an award. :-( > Yes that's a pity.... >-- >Mike Noyes <mhnoyes at users.sourceforge.net> >http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ >SF.net Projects: leaf, phpwebsite, phpwebsite-comm, sitedocs > Eric > > >------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language >that extends applications into web and mobile media.
