I've used both. I have no financial interest in the success of either, except for the fact that if both projects are caught in some sort of childish naming war between them, certain clients of mine will lose confidence in my choice of webwork of either flavor. This nonsense needs to stop and it needs to stop now. I don't care who or what actually owns the name "webwork" but however this shakes down, it's best if it's not ugly. There's already too much of that kind of nonsense in the real world and the open source world doesn't need it. It will only serve to undermine the credibility of any and all projects involved in the dispute.
I thought that an apache 1.3/2.0 split was what we had but if that's no longer the case then people need to work out what projects they want to continue running and what their goals are and things needs to be firmly established. The rest of us don't care about the politics; there are 1.4 users needing support and 2.0 users needing support and we don't need or care about conflict at the top. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Rudin Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 8:01 AM To: Patrick Lightbody Subject: Re: RE: [OS-webwork] Intended roadmap for webwork project? > I would be curious to hear from other 1.x users besides Hani what their > thoughts are on this issue.

I'm only vaguely familiar with the difference between Apache 1.3.x and Apache 2.x, but could this situation be considered similar? I believe Apache 1.3.x is in a maintenance-only state, but there are probably millions of users dependent on it. WW 1.x of course doesn't have that kind of user base, but I think most of us WW 1.x users who are very happy with WW 1.x would still like to see maintenance continued for at least the next couple years and not worry about being forced to migrate at any point.
