I suspect it's a totally non-technical reason -- say, no one has the time to be messing with it? It's unfortunate that the mailing lists appear to be being deprioritized in favor of web fora like mandrakeexpert and mandrakeclub. We just had an interesting conversation on this front in the slimp3 users' group. Interestingly enough, the slimp3 developers hang out in their users group and were able to participate in the discussion. While web fora had their proponents, it quickly became clear that none of the proponents are actually people qualified to give help. When the people who provide help and software began to mention that they wouldn't join a forum, it definitely got attention. After about a week, the slimp3 people announced they would be rolling out a best-of-both-worlds solution: Mailman. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... http://www.monkeynoodle.org/resume.html
