I think even this is way too much to expect from those who do put resources into the project. Noone who is contributing seems to have much experience from hosting, so discussion about hosting is really difficult. (I may have plenty of experience, but I don't contribute very much to the project.) > It seems to me the state of the project is defunct: while there are > requests, proposals, options and offerings, we are not getting > towards a decission or action it seems, as noone decides anything > or gets people to agree or to do things. There's a fairly fundamental disagreement between development styles. I e.g. advocate security-conscious development and great results, even if slow, while everyone else who has spoken on that matter advocates fast change with perhaps less importance on technical quality and elegance. It's sad that less-than-great results is acceptable in open source under any circumstance, but since I'm not even putting development resources into the project it doesn't matter at all what I think about that. IMO it's largely a waste of time to migrate away from an existing working system unless the services really can not be updated in place. //Peter _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
