Re: [Fwd: Jinzora 2.0 released - upcoming merger with Netjuke]

You should talk with Blake for more details, but yes, NetJuke2 is 
finished. Blake is leaving to go to Jinzora, and unless a developer 
comes forward to take the reins, it looks like netjuke in general will 
be no more. The code will be integrated with Jinzora, and the oldest PHP 
jukebox project will be silent once more.

This came as a total surprise to me, and I was supposed to be on the dev 
team! I asked if it was a late April Fool's joke.

I agree with you both about the major problems with Jinzora, I joined 
NetJuke because Jinzora could not come close to meeting my needs. 
NetJuke could have.

Yours,

Jeremy
