[e-users] how is E going on?

[Zhang Weiwu]

Sorry the question sounds silly. I have been using Enlightenment for one 
year, it is my favorite. Only that I am in China, and the 
enlightenment.org website is unreachable from within the so called 
"China firewall". I believe enlightenment.org does not contain political 
stuff; I think it is excluded by mistake. Anyway I get no way to know 
about news and recent activities of enlightenment. Recently someone told 
me enlightenment has mailing lists on sourceforge, so I hurried 
subscribed it.

I just wish to know how is the development going. Enlightenment has no 
newer version for quite some time, too slow comparing to other famouse 
opensouce projects. I heard E17 is dead, but I'm technique newbie, I 
read the "dead announcement" but I don't really get it. Is E17 dead 
because there is something even better than E17 will come out? When can 
I experience complex animiation on enlightenment, like MAC OS X users have?

I have been using some eppletes from FreeBSD port tree, the epplets are 
ages old, and the port maintainer said "please send your patches to the 
*port maintainer*". I acutally feel surprised on this, doesn't 
enlightenment team accept patches from outside like apache/linux do?

And is there any Chinese/Japanese people in the group? I never managed 
to run Enlightenment with Chinese window titles successfully, will the 
next version of E have better Chinese support?

Thank you.
