Same here. Thanks.

Adam mentioned several months ago that there would be another version and was looking for volunteers to help with the tasking.  If enough people are interested, I think we should take him up on it. I still use Plum for all my development, even though I have been experimenting with Fusebox, ModelGlue, Ruby on Rails, and a little DotNet, and a little Flex over the past 6-8 months. I am an independent developer working on department-level applications, not working on an Enterprise team, and I find that Plum just fits better for what I do than all the Enterprise OOP frameworks out there. It is a testiment to the foresight and skill of Adam and David that I find Plum more than relevant still.  While Plum offers so much out of the box, there is still room for improvement and some bug fixes.  And we need to reach out to our non-Windows bretheren to try to get more traction and momentum, or move on to other environments. I personally would like to see Plum flourish, and so I am posting this message. I was recently going over the mailing list archives, and was amazed at how active we were as a community only a year ago.  Now it is like a ghost town.  I for one would like to see Plum resurrected and get some community involvement going so we can remain relevant. I have some ideas for enhancements, and I'm sure those of you that still use Plum do as well.  But before we put the cart before the horse - is anybody interested? -- v/r, Jeff Fleitz
