To be honest I feel coaxed :-) But I also think that I need to give yet another explanation why I stopped contributing, because the possible reason given above is not entirely correct. First I _really_ have very little spare time currently, so this time has to be very well spent. Then I _really_ dislike some recent changes in LyX development. I don't think I need to reiterate all of them, one example can be seen in my other mail of today. Another one is too little focus on 1.5.0 release. For example, restarting the work on insetlisting now is ridicolous. Sorry Bo and José, but that is how I see it, and believe me, this is something I have been wanting for a long time. I know that implementing that properly requires much work, because I took Herberts patch some time ago and moved the code to insetinclude (because this is where it belongs IMHO). I did not finish it because it was too much work and I was lacking the patience. Herberts code is a start only, and based on an old version of listings. BTW I will create another branch during the next few days and upload my "play tree" there, then you can have a look yourself. Since it would be arrogant to demand from all of you to adjust to my wishes for the very little amount I could contribute I chose the other alternative: Don't help with a product that I cannot endorse. If you find a bug in code from me feel free to ask for a fix (CC me since I am not reasding the list regularly), but I am not going to do more than that. Please accept that. Georg
