If people aren't subscribed, perhaps they don't care to know about new releases.
Ah, I'm getting a better sense of where you're coming from here. Glad to hear it. I agree; see my bottom few paragraphs of my overly-long missive a few minutes ago. <g>I'm ok with people talking about JPluck here (and believe me, I'm only one person, certainly not the majority vote), but continuing to discuss JPluck usability issues in the Plucker lists, where those issues are probably unrelated to Plucker's use or development, is probably off-topic.
Wowzers, that's a while! I've had what I call "no visible source of income" for about that long, spread over 500 days (a brief period of visible income in the middle), but have benefitted from owning some technology that I pimped for valuable cash and prizes.Keep up the great work. One of these days I'll give JPluck (and PlkrData) a try. I've been dedicated to trying to find a paying job (been out of work now for over 400 days) and releasing all the Plucker perl stuff I've been working on over the last year.
On the topic of SourceForge vs. SourceFubar vs. Plkr.org, I didn't know SourceForge existed until pretty recently. (It's a very perl, php, and Linux-oriented space, and while I adore Linux it's not a big part of my life because I'm a bit mercenary in that I'll go where the jobs are... and I actively dislike perl and php.) I'm pleased with the infrastructure they provide. My primary issue is approximately that of Laurens in that I don't really consider PlkrData (or JPluck) to not really be Plucker, they're just different parts of Plucker. So I'd want people to be able to find out about and link to them easily from the Plucker site, but I'm less concerned about where they live and I certainly agree that bugs specific to PlkrData shouldn't clog up the General list.
