Dev, singular. At least from all indications and he said it was just |
8 |
him, at one point. Of course, pan isn't much more than one main dev |
9 |
either, and a fits and starts one that goes great guns for awhile then |
10 |
ignores it for awhile, at that. But pan does seem to have a relatively |
11 |
active user base (including me, probably the senior regular on the pan |
12 |
lists) and several devs that submit patches from time to time, as well as |
13 |
i18n and HIG support and bug and svn infrastructure from the GNOME guys. |
14 |
The klibido dev mentioned getting I think one patch from someone else, |
15 |
and it's a relatively new project (tho it's been a few years now), so |
16 |
it's likely much more a single-man operation. |

But your point is well taken. It was 2006 and the last release was, he |
19 |
said, an "intermediate" release as he worked on a couple db changes... |
20 |
but the newer version or for that matter any other further changes... |
21 |
never came. Who knows? It could have simply been something he did in |
22 |
college, then he graduated, maybe got married and had a kid, and hasn't |
23 |
thought much about it since. |
24 |
|
25 |
If I ever decided to get back into it, I'd certainly join the user list |
26 |
and see what was up, if anything. Of course now, I may not, since |
27 |
there's little reason to if he's not going to port it to KDE4, and |
28 |
there's no sign of any recent life, so who knows? |
