18 I am pretty certain that I can review it this week. I only gave it a
19 short glance so far but this needs a closer look.

26 I'll add that to my urgent todo-list and should be able to get it done
27 in the next two weeks.

35 Would not really like to do that for the current w-c version. But I
36 admit that I did not try to determine how much time it would take to
37 implement it in the current version.

50 Thanks for the effort. I know that I need some pushing concerning w-c
51 at the moment. It is hard to determine the timeline on w-c-1.60. The
52 majority of the basic structure is there and the stuff I have been
53 doing in the last weeks was adding small bits and pieces of
54 functionality back in. I added a short PLANNING.txt file but that does
55 not contain too much information yet. I'd definitely like to get the
56 configuration structure completed before I finish this document. At
57 that point the class structure should be clear enough to continue
58 together on the newer version. I hesitate to make promises on the
59 timeline since that often turns out to be too optimistic. I'd
60 definitely suggest we continue to use the 1.50.* line for a while and
61 kill the most important bugs there.
62
63 I'm definitely not going to give up on the w-c-1.60 version because I
64 feel we need a better structure in order to be able to efficiently
65 maintain the code. I do see the benefit of that in layman and would
66 like to have a similar situation with w-c.
67
68 Cheers
