Re: [MO-java-dev] Project Status/Questions

[Steve F. <st...@m3...>]

We're still keen to keep going and people have been submitting patches.
We've run into a couple of technical problems with the site, which do not
reflect the status of the code.

- we're stuck between domain name registrars at the moment, hence the loss
of the website. Joker.com and easyDNS seem to be unable to complete the
handshake. I can't tell which one is to blame.
- we've been trying to find the time to rework the website. The current
implementation was originally set up for a potential merge with Cactus,
which didn't happen. Unfortunately, it's now in the way and we just haven't
had the time to roll back and fix it.
- I've been spending a lot of my time working on a book which I intend to
post on the site once we can get it back up.

at a more philosophical level, you don't need us that much (how do you like
the hard sell ;-). The most important part is the expectation library which
really does help to structure tests. Much of the rest is to do with sharing
effort.

I'll contact you directly.

Steve
