who's interested in releasing IMAP? not me, for one. i can live very happily enough without any releases for the forseeable future. releases attract users, not developers. IMAP is orthogonal to the community issues surrounding trunk. IMAP is not tightly coupled to the rest of JAMES. if the community issues remain unresolved when IMAP is ready for release, the easiest approach would be to backport to a uncontroversial version. the only way that trunk is going to get released is if someone steps forward i think that the lack of releases is unhealthy for the community. i also understand that many developers feel frustrated. i see no reasons why JAMES couldn't release a couple of components a month for the next year or so provided that the people who want more releases step forward. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
