 I think he's not answering since coding is taking a lot of time... and
 he prefers ending the rewrite sooner rather than answering emails.  Also
 because many issues the ML reported will no longer exists in the new
 "visdn".

Hi Matteo, thanks for letting us know the state of visdn. I too saw
visdn as the last, best hope for ISDN in linux. (cue bablyon 5 music)
:-)

The problem is that people will se an almost abandoned website and
figure nothing much is happening here and move on. Except for some
snapshots hiding in the download directory nothing changes. :)

Hiding the development alienates the more interested users and cuts you
off from potentially valuable feedback. No releases necessary, but
letting us peek at the version control system and do a check out would
be nice.

I'm 200% along with andrea on his statements, not sharing knowledge and showing support to your base is detrimental to the project and let people think it is dead. And once dead you need to make bigger effort to convince people that it resurrected.

One suggestion would be to install a Trac site for the project and document changes instead of clueless SVN comments that can be understood only be the coder himself and certainly handled by him as a unnecessary burden (a loose-loose configuration IMHO).

We switched from vISDN to mISDN because of the lake of 'support' to the code and apparent progress (not very reassuring to have a on person code working on an other agenda, no documentation and user patchs that correct bugs for months without any 'approval' and port back to the code by the 'official' coder).

Regards
