Thanks Sam, but it's a bit more than that.
Nacho and Larry and Henri did most of the hard work in maintaining 3.2,
and it is a _team_ effort. Sam acted as a release manager - doing build
after build, as he was supposed to do. Tomcat 3.2 is not _my_ product, but
_our_ product, and I think _we_ did a good job overall.
I wrote _a_lot__ of the code that went into 3.2, and I did more work
than you can imagine, Jon. I did that even if I had a job that is not
tomcat, but xml-xalan.
After 3.2 was frozen I had far more work than I could handle with xalan
and jaxp ( thanks to Scott for helping me so much ), and the little free
time I got was put into finishing what I started - the refactoring of
tomcat3, making it _elegant_ and _fast_ ..
In any case - this is not about me, but about tomcat. I do my best to
improve tomcat, if that's not enough for you - I'm sorry.
