The reason I've been holding off in submitting something like this is because the author/developer of Joe has *Nothing* to do with these latest versions of Joe coming out. Others have taken the last version of joe that he developed, bumped the version number, made a bunch of changes, and are still caling it the same joe, with no differentiation that this is a fork of the original package. If Joe Allen endorses, or even recognizes these as being official, I have no problem with recommending that the newer versions be brought in. But, I do have a serious problem with some external group "taking over" a project like this without at least somehow marking that this is different than the original project. As far as I know, nobody has even audited the changes they've made to see that they aren't introducing (yet another) hole in this editor... I'd like to hold off a bit, regardless... -- Kevin (Joe maintainer) What is the latest on this port, I'm going to put it in suspend if its still waiting on the reasons listed in the audit-trail.

A lot of my users like the latest version of joe, so I'd imagine other people do, too. What are your thoughts on that? -pete -- Pete Fritchman <petef@databits.net> Databits Network Services, Inc. <http://databits.net> finger petef@databits.net for PGP key State Changed From-To: analyzed->closed Committed, thanks! |
