I guess the issue for a lot of people comes down to a support channel. In the past, when bugs have been discovered that are tricky to fix, the response has been "we'll get to work on that and you can expect a fix in the next release." Once that response becomes "you're going to have to hope someone gets to work on that and you may or may not get a fix sometime, maybe never" then people will immediately have a significant problem. Are we at that stage already? With no further releases planned from you and Gunnar, and with no community support anywhere near ready, I think we might be. It would have been so much better if the official announcement had said "Qt Jambi is being discontinued, there will be one more official release before the FOSS community takes the project over." Is there any chance this might happen - one more official release while a community gets built up? I've been encouraged by the enthusiastic, albeit very limited, response that this list has revealed in the last few days. Maybe there are enough people and projects out there? Maybe a benefactor can be found? Maybe Sun or Nokia can find a bit of sponsorship money to pay someone a part time wage? But since the project has already been driven off the cliff, it's asking an awful lot for such a small group to get themselves together quickly enough to catch it! _______________________________________________ Qt-jambi-interest mailing list Qt-jambi-interest@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-jambi-interest
