Re: [NMock2-Dev] Fwd: [TDD] Nmock verify

Just because a project does not have much activity does not mean that the p=
roject is dead, it often means that the project is stable. I am still activ=
ely using NMock on several different projects, and I have yet to come acros=
s any serious issue since the RC was posted perhaps it is time to bump it u=
p to 1.0.=20

Sorry Mike, but I put my time in on that project and handed it off in =20
the hope it would get looked after. I don't have a .Net environment =20
at the moment so it's hard for me to do serious work. I added the =20
last committer because he needed updates to keep NMock in his project.

The issue is not that NMock uses strings (although c.f. the work that =20
Nat has been doing in jMock), the issue is whether the project is =20
still live and responsive. From the traffic I've seen, many people in =20
the .Net world assume that it's dead.
