I'll include the error message I received at the end of this message, but you must be right about the problem being a temporary sourceforge glitch. It looks like I just happened to send my email to the devel list and encountered that apparently intermittent error when there was a gap in messages sent to that list (Oct 20 .. 24), making me think that the problem might be affecting everyone. I tried just twice and gave up after the 2nd message (sent either a few hours later or the next day, as I recall) bounced with the same problem. (It was just a tip about some settings in vim to help deal with the tab issue you guys were discussing. It may be too late now, but I'll try sending it again - partly to test that it works now for me.) Thanks for the nice report on what you and the other devs are working on - very helpful (to me - and others, I'm sure). I've read a lot of the devel messages, but it's nice to have a summary in one place. Your search-feature project sounds quite useful (IMO, applying google's intelligent search principles to rosegarden data). And it's great to hear about the bug-fixing work and the other new features - for anyone who's wondering and googling: rosegarden is not dead; it is alive and well.

That's one of the great luxuries of working on software on one's own - one can take risk and possibly mess up dramatically (usually not a big problem thanks to modern source control tools) without worrying about being yelled at and belittled, or fired, by some boss. And if the work succeeds, it can be quite rewarding (better than liquor or drugs in some ways, I'd say) as well as benefiting other users. In answer to your initial question, below is the contents of the bounce email message I got about my email failing (probably moot at this point, since devel seems to be working, although it might be helpful if the problem re-occurs). (Looking further at the message, it's possible it's my email provider that messed up.)
