Hi, I just returned from a mini-vacation and recovered from mailing list trouble. The effect was that I have not received -users list mail for about two weeks. I will not read through this mail using gmane or something, so it's possible I missed important things.

Although I did not yet present my feature request and voting solution I'm sure that could be working in a reasonable time. (I apologize - I was busy with other projects...) I will get the feature request collection and voting solution into a working condition eventually (unless someone is faster :-) > In any case, I have reviewed the old project list, removed the items that > were completed in 2.2.0, combined several projects that were similar, and > eliminated (put into a hold area) projects that are either developer > optimizations, not well enough explained for me to implement, projects > that I don't know how to implement, or projects that require proprietary > code, so cannot be implemented in Bacula (at the current moment). > This cut the number of projects in the voting list down from 44 to 25. > They are numbered 1-25.

Actually, I think Kerns approach is quite reasonable. There are already some interesting suggestions in this list, and I don't think we need another round of requests and votes right now. Of course this is my personal impression only, but given that the main developer has presented this list, I think it's reasonable to use that for now... > Best regards, > > Kern Arno -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann www.its-lehmann.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
