We should do whatever we can manage and try to not ignore anything. > My > background is certainly views where I am the position of *not* ignoring > this threads but sometimes it seems to me that the rest is doing it. Well i certainly am not. I try to read everything and only respond if i think that i need to. Even started my next project to use views, so expect more development soon. I trust you to get on and do the best you can and i will try to help when i can manage it. Please don't take silence to mean that nobody cares. That is not true. Most of my time is being taken up with general issues for the Forrest project, so i don't often have the time to help. I wish that other people would help more with that stuff, applying the patches, guiding the new developers. > That cannot keep on in the future.

There other things that i want to solve with views before diving in. Like the unfinished thread about "Defining Views Terminology". And i think that moving the core to XHTML2 is more important at this stage, so i will put my "spare" energy there. Don't see that as ignoring "views" as i expect that will help. > IMO views will be one of the major reasons for user to use forrest.

So i agree that nothing can be "safely ignored". It sounds like Ferdinand's off-hand comment hit a raw nerve that we know is there. I had a similar one at Cocoon with the entity resolver and with the docs. Please don't get dejected. At least we have two new committers starting to help on views. -David
