Hi,
 I am not an avalon developer. So this may not be the
right mailing list. I apologies beforehand. If I
understand the previous thousands mails correctly, I
have no right to be a commiter. Besides that, it seems
here all the developers are interested about avalon
life-cycle, container etc. Nobody is really interested
about the ftp server. So frankly speaking, I did not
find any reason to take some CVS server disk-space.

   Another thing, here all the developers are talking
about avalon philosophy (I don't know what is it), but
not interested about testing it against an actual
server. I can't understand how you guys test the
container as a whole. May be you guys are really
geniuses.

  If I remember correctly, at some point james
developers were thinking about moving out from avalon.


  Anyway, most of the ftp server part is written by me
with some exceptions. So may be we can remove it from
the avalon project entirely. Unless somebody is really
interested, it is difficult for me to find another
developer. So in near future, it will remain one man
code-base.

Thanks,
Rana
