Otis, It is probably apparent that my focus has changed from the day-to-day Flume focus used to have. I've been tasked to handle certain problems recently and these are things that I have to take care of first. The same is true for Eric and several of the others who were involved in the past.
I know that there are several outstanding patches (some very large) and on the current trunk and 0.9.5 branch. Alex and yours isn't the only one. I am fighting for time to try to burn down the patches queue. I'll get some, but it will be limited. I'm going start another thread mail proposing a roadmap for the sustaining branch in the next couple days. At the end of the day, the Apache way is about building a self-sustaining community of *users* and *developers*. I want to do right for the Flume community and the Apache community. It is unfortunate and unhealthy that currently things are blocked by a handful of people (me). Building a self-sustaining community of developers is something that has been new to me and something I've been trying to figure out how to do effectively. Any advice there would be great too! Jon.
