 Just chipping in once more :) I have also been away from the lists
for a while, but I do seem to remember that Darren said the
sub-release/fork, (or whatever terminology you prefer to use), for
cutting edge testing and enhancement releases, free from the
constraints of stable and cvs versions, were neither required nor
economically worth the effort. That, by the way, is my interpretation
of what Darren said, just highly condensed :)

 In my personal opinion, this was pretty much the only option,
(although a straight fork with different logo/name might have been
preferable), that people had for obtaining a non politically enmeshed
version of HylaFAX. I would also have to say that the democratic
model Darren keeps mentioning does appear to be very biased in one
direction more than others. ( No offence meant :).

 However, I will just add that I am in no way trying to detract from
the hard work and man hours that everyone puts into HylaFAX. A big
thankyou still goes out to all concerned in the upkeep and
availability of the software.


All the best,

Matt
