Hi guys,

[This is my own opinion not Mandriva's]

I was not very active on this list for mainly 2 reasons. First, this
product has to be released very quickly after nearly one year delayed
schedule, so we were very busy trying to fix the 'few' remaining bugs
and the second point is that I didn't want to ask for your help and at
the end has to tell you that you can't grab the final iso due to
management's nonsense decision.
So i prefered 'lurking', do my job [Andreas and I accidentally
inherited the MNF project after Florin leaved] and try to put some
pressure [suggestions in fact] on Mandriva's to give the product for
free to contributors on this mailing list. Something like priviledged
access to the MNF2 iso.
Nothing has been decided yet, discussions are going on.

Let me thank you for your good work and stay tuned.
