Argh. I hate that people consider is stagnating. I admit I could be more involved and active, but frankly it works. Why mess with it too much?
I have been considering naming a PM for the project and other related roles so that people don't perceive a lack of motion. I've also considered a few different releases of versions of reactor (lite, etc). Heck, I was talking to Chris Scott about automating Flex integration via ColdSpring. Anyhow, my flight is boarding and I've got to run. Reactor = good now, but needs to be called a 1.0. I want better docs and a few bug fixes before I do that.
