Re: [Quickfix-developers] Unresolved stability issue in rev 2300

[Grant B. <gbi...@co...>]

As the guy in charge of QF/n, I need to point out that your comment about
.NET being Connamara's "bread and butter" is incorrect.  We use a wide
variety of technologies, including .NET, but also Ruby/Rails, Erlang, C++,
and more.  (I'm personally knee-deep in Rails right now.)

The increased attention to QF/n is simply because I personally enjoy it,
and I try to find time for it.  We actually don't have that many projects
that use QF/n (though it'd be nice if we could get more).

I'll leave the formal QF/C++ response to one of my colleagues, but you are
right, it is obvious that this project has been lacking attention.
