Unfortunately (speaking here as the developer of mod_aspdotnet) there are plenty of users to be found, but I found very little development. In spite of persistent calls that 'this code will hit the road without oversight' we never attracted more than a patch or two from a single coder, and were never able to gain traction. The upshot is that it has exited the ASF and now lives as a one-man-show at sourceforge (where it still has a significant number of users). Is it a cultural difference of .NET development? Perhaps. Hard to name any projects beyond mono with a wide committer base. Of course Apache Lucene.Net doesn't have the ms-specific tie in, so one hopes this will change. But I wouldn't bank on your eggs hatching from a release, since there are users out there, but they may or may not xlate into developer/contributors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
