[Colander-users] Some updates

[Craig R. <cro...@us...>]

The project isn't as inactive as it may look. Download statistics are 
broken and CVS stats are not accurate. As a result, the activity 
percentage is often around 0%. These issues are noted in the SourceForge 
Site Status page.

Work is in progress on the next development branch and when the 
subsequent 0.6 stable branch comes out, Colander should reach beta 
status. Of course, the 0.4 stable branch is still active until then and 
any bug fixes will be applied against it.

The beginnings of a FAQ (answers to Frequently Asked Questions) is now 
available. You can find it linked off of the home page at http://
colander.sourceforge.net/

Finally, the test classes within the source packages seem to fail on Red 
Hat Linux 9. The application may exhibit additional weirdness on that 
platform. Red Hat Linux 7.x is unaffected. The problem is under 
investigation.
