We really have no idea how many people are using XWork standalone. None. Every developer - including every one of us - uses loads of other packages without getting involved in their communities or developer lists or whatever. There's just no way to judge how many such people there are for XWork. As for Wes having to fix some stuff to make it work, that's a question of how long it's been not working properly, and how many people have needed an update during that period. That nobody else happened to report an issue during that timeframe says nothing about how many people out there are using it. For all you know, 20 people might have downloaded it the day after Wes fixed it. Sounds crazy? Perhaps, but so does assuming nobody is using it just because there's no noise on the list. -- Martin Cooper > > > musachy > -- > "Hey you! Would you help me to carry the stone?"
