well...  the evidence suggests otherwise.  If that were the case, then the
documentation would already be up-to-date.  However, since I have been on this
list I have seen two discussions go through about (my pet peeve) Menu widgets.
Several members of the list have posted their ideas, and working code...
(twice)... and yet the documentation in the CVS repository remains blank on the
subject.... which only means that the next person to install Win32::GUI is going
to wonder how to use the Menu widget and will post yet again to the group asking
us.

I guess I have been pampered by being a part of the BioPerl developers
community, which is extremely active and there is no "territoriality" beyond
good manners.  But I still think it is sad that there are, as you point out, 10
developers, but there has been no CVS activity in 7 months!  If the developers
are not active then it doesn't matter how many there are - the project has
stagnated :-(

If any of the developers are on the list - I am offering to help :-)  :-)
(at least w.r.t. improving the documentation...)
