Re: [mlview-list] Some news from the mlview project

[dodji seketeli org]

Hello all,

Baptiste did very well in resuming the traffic on the list :-) .

As my day job is really demanding (and has nothing to do with open source), I
try to spend my very little spare time on MlView code related stuffs only.
Hence the silence of the last months.

As Baptiste pointed out, I have tried to keep hacking constantly on stuffs
that I feel are really worth it. Hopefully, Nicolas managed to work on
some worthwile patches too.

I am pleased to announce that Baptiste offered his help to work on
non coding tasks. These include things like testing and bugzilla care,
website content maintenance, communication, etc ...
These tasks are really important for the project and I think that I am
not capable to handle them alone in an acceptable time frame.

So Baptiste, thank you very much for your help.

Regards,

Dodji.
