Guys.. it's been some time since I was first introduced to coWiki, and
I must say that it as a tool and as a project (and also Daniel!) have
been a significant influence on me.

However, it's time I say goodbye.  I think this has been a long time coming=
.

I was able to stuggle through some very serious difficulties with
coWiki over the years, and I was rewarded for those struggles.=20
However, I am no longer able to muster the energy to work on my own
installation or with the project.

Right now, as *an editor* I cannot use coWiki to the full extent that
I wish.  This makes it extraordinarily difficult for me to use it for
organization or notes.  There is a lot of potential for the project
and I wish it the best.

I'll stay subscribed to various mailing lists, and I'm still available
to help out sometimes, but I wanted to be clear that I haven't had
coWiki on my mind in some time and I doubt I will in the forseeable
future.

When coWiki releases stable versions, I'll check them out.


Sy,

PS, aside from random notes on cowiki.org, there are still a lot of
notes still on develnet.org.. especially some interesting feature
requests.

PSS, my passing advice is:
* Publically state coWiki philosophies and goals.
* Maintain a simple roadmap for yourselves and the public.
* Rapid releases of even the smallest bugfixes.
* Lean on ease of installation/use and in-line documentation.
