To be fair, Andreas, I have been the biggest no-show on the plugin 
developer list. I have a family and ever increasing work demands, and as 
I  think many folks would would do, I have let my optimism and good 
intentions get in the way of stepping out of the leadership role. But as 
the de facto leader of the group, that slowed everyone down to my 
(glacial) pace.

As of last night, I have given up that role - I will try to hang around 
and comment from time to time, but I will no longer be i a role where my 
inactivity slows things down.

At the moment, we are bringing on at least one new developer, and Ton 
Voon is leading the effort to go through the accumulated patches and get 
a release out.

Since the failings of the past year our two have been largely mine, can 
you give Ton a fair shake?

I also note that Stanley Hopcraft is still active on the mailing lists 
also - there is plenty of expertise in the remaining developer staff, 
and I expect good things.
