Re: Quick question... Is this project dead?!

As much as it pains me to reply to this, and as much as none of us has much 
right to demand anything... I must say that I have one simple criticism of 
the project:  The level of experience and maturity needed to contribute is 
fairly high.

Of course, it's not Andrew Suffield's job to hand-hold people through their 
own learning curve, but perhaps someone out there can volunteer for that 
position, so that the interested (but green) parties can help each other.

On y-windows.org you can see the road map mentioning features and planned 
releases, perhaps someone can share how we are doing on achieving version 
0.3 features?

There hasn't been any in the past month because we've all been doing
other things. I don't see why you expect anything different. Nor is
your demand for progress reports appropriate or even good manners; you
are not middle-management for any of us.

All of that stuff is grossly premature.

Read the manual.
