I agree that the discussion about third-party tools shouldn't get too specific. So that's why I hope the notice in my signature will help keep discussion out of the list. If it gets too specific I'll reply by e-mailing people directly. >> As for plucker-announce: for all intents and purposes it lies dead >> in the water. > > It's also moderated (thankfully), for a reason.

Well probably no-one subscribes or posts to plucker-announce because the list isn't used. A chicken and egg situation. Viewer 1.2 wasn't announced there for instance, which is quite an omission. Why post to a dead list? > As with PlkrData, an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which gets sent to > me anyway) will get your release put on the Plucker website (thanks > Tony). The website gets much more visibility than the > plucker-announce mailing list, to be sure. BTW, thanks for putting the news item about JPluck 0.8.5 on the site(without me asking). Now if I hadn't posted it to the lists you wouldn't have known about it. :-) > I'm not saying that your work, or the project isn't valuable, it > definately is (though for me, it serves no purpose, all of my Plucker > work is done with perl now anyway), but that continuing the > discussion about how Java bits and pieces won't load properly, etc. > probably would be considered "off-topic" here, since those relate to > your tool, and the use of your tool, not to the use or development of > Plucker itself. I believe that anything that is of interest to the Plucker community should be posted at least to plucker-list. It's not that the lists are flooded with messages lately, and I don't think anyone will mind. You posted the article about the Sybase AvantGo buyout here. Now strictly speaking that is also off-topic, but it's still interesting to know. You and I also had this lengthy discussion about AvantGo pods:// syntax among other things. Now most of that had very little to do with Plucker development(it was on plucker-dev that we had this discussion), but it was still interesting. Again, I agree that the discussion on the mailing lists about specifics of third-party tools shouldn't get out of hand. I'll make an effort to make sure that it doesn't.
