From: Robert Norris Subject: jabberd2 development on hold Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2004 14:11:24 +1000 List-Id: Jabberd Development Greetings, People who follow the jabberd2 development have probably noticed that its been nonexistant over the last couple of months. This email is here to tell you what's going on :) A few weeks before the release of 2.0s3, I pretty much lost interest in computers in general. I'm don't think there was an actual trigger for this - it had been coming for a while. I'm in a 9-5 programmer/sysadmin job, and I was using most of my spare time working on j2. This was the case for close to 2.5 years. So rather than go insane, I just stopped. I didn't intend to be out for long, but it started to drag, which is why 2.0s3 got rushed out. Its now a couple of months later, and I have no real motivation to do any computing stuff outside of work. I've picked up a couple of non-computing hobbies, and am having a ball with them. Further, my laptop was stolen a few weeks ago, and I've got my first child arriving in November, so even if I did have the motiviation, opportunities to work on code are pretty seriously limited. So, I'm officially putting j2 on hold until Jan/Feb 2005. By that time, the baby will have (hopefully) settled into some kind of routine, and I should have a computer & DSL at home, so I'll be in a better position to figure out what to do. Its at this time that I'll make a decision as to whether I'm going to continue with j2 development, or just abandon it completely. In all honesty, I have no idea what I'll end up deciding - I'm deliberately not thinking about it until my brain is rested. I know that this probably messes a few people around, people who have been waiting on features, fixes, and/or are building products based on j2. Those are the breaks, I'm afraid. I'm still online, and I'm happy to answer questions via Jabber if you wish, though I can no longer test pieces of code or give detailed help (ie anything requiring me to dig into the code) - I just don't have the brain space for it. If anyone wants to either take on development, or offer me a full time job developing j2, then they should let me know also :) Regards, Rob. -- Robert Norris GPG: 1024D/FC18E6C2 Email+Jabber: rob~cataclysm.cx Web: http://cataclysm.cx/
