Hi all,
We're making fantastic progress on this, and I want to thank everybody
who's responded to my questions.
We're charging towards 1.5's release, and we want to roll this out
properly. We've got some plans about publicizing this once it's released,
but until that time, I would ask everyone to avoid making any formal
announcements about progress in any major venue. Geeks hate vaporware
more than most other things, and Netatalk has, more than many open source
projects, suffered from neglect. We need to show the world results before
we can pull in more interested parties, and nothing will set the stage
for that like a brand new release.
So personally recruit all the talent you can and want, but let's make
sure that we hold off on any big announcements until 1.5 is released.
Harry and I have volunteered to be the P.R. core. Anybody who wants to
join in and help us is welcome to do so -- you only need ask! :-)
Thanks!
Steve
