It's a catch-22. You don't have releases because you don't have contributors. And, you don't have contributors because you don't have releases. I agree we need to get busy cranking out some code to let folks know we're not dead (yet). The only way I see us getting more code going is to get new people and I honestly believe that using a tool like Git will help us do that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
