Re: [Slashcode-general] Will there be a new slashcode releaseat sourceforge ?

[Rob M. <ma...@sl...>]

At risk of sounding like a jerk, Slashdot doesn't use the releases at  
all.  We deploy from the tagged versions... so creating a tarball and  
a release is simply not a priority for us.

I'd love to see releases happen, but given the thousand other things  
on the TODO list that directly impact our day to day operations, I  
have a hard timing giving it any real priority.
