It's not dead. It's slow, but it isn't dead. I think you set your standards for the project too high. There's only two of us and you expect the level of support and maintenance that could only really be achieved by a full-fledged distro with far more developers. As for the efforts you make in recruiting testers, perhaps you need to try alternative methods of recruit. (e.g., perhaps help keep the website up to date and post requests for help there). More regular news items, not just release announcements, but ideas, new concepts and new features could be added in a semi-blog form, perhaps even RSS feeds. Lastly, frankly, I think you scare people away, at least to a certain degree. You strive for perfection, which is noble, but in actuality, unrealistic. And you set such high standards and strict rules about who can request support, that I think it ends up keeping them from saying anything. If we relaxed a bit more, and opened up more opportunities for others to contribute, I'm sure we'd see much more feedback and support from the community. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
