That's not too long in real world terms, esp. if he got hit hard by finals and then went on winter break. Of course window maker has come a long way in that time and we desperately need a new release. However, you might want to consider just doing non-maintainer releases for a few months, in case he shows up again, and spend some more time hunting him down and finding out if he wants to keep maintaining it. He still seems to be attending cwru.edu; he has a web page at http://b62724.student.cwru.edu/~nrubin/. There, he lists a different email address you could try: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, by fingering him I found another email, [EMAIL PROTECTED] By the way, finger says he's been active recently: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>f [EMAIL PROTECTED] [b62724.student.cwru.edu] Login: nrubin Name: Neil A.
