ONE : What are we replacing Avalon with, who is leading that team, and do we have a due date ? TWO : Where are we with our current development efforts (ToDo list) and how quickly can these efforts be realized ? THREE : Have we defined a packaging tool/central repository for James Production Mailets and support infrastructure ? FOUR : Are we commercializing James, who is leading that team, and have we gathered sufficient requirements ? > I have no excuses, only reasons.

Now that, I hope, was said in frustration - not caring about a fellow member's issues. You are one of the active committers and may even be on the PMC (not sure) and to, well, disregard a member's inquiries like that shows, well, I hope it's frustration. > Sorry, but saying that lack of time is unacceptable really bothers me. The lack of time is a reality and it's an unacceptable excuse to any user community, including users of Lock & Key technologies ... you, as a customer, will never accept 'lack of time' as a reason for deliverables being missed. You would want a more tangible, honest, answer like "... > I have no excuses, only reasons. My reason is that I don't > know or care about what he posted. ... " > What else would you like clarified? I think this user community needs a better clarification of the long term goals and the immediate steps being taken to get us there. Several users have posted similar questions and a general frustration seems to be lingering around. New users are proposing radical changes, shifts in technologies, and generating local code repositories. Old users are asking for stability, support, and corrections to known issues and some sort of commitment from James for future use. I don't see a master plan that we are following - and have followed - since inception. - Alan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
