Re: Is Gnus pregnant? Do we need to perform a caesarian section?

SJT> What do you think, Steve Y? SY> Four letters come to mind... P-I-T-A Yeah, but is putting Gnus into core a reasonable alternative? 0.5 :-) Look at the problems we have with dependencies on xemacs-base and efs. I see this as a long run problem, that we're going to have to deal with over and over again. I'd like to forestall that if a little discussion and some work can do so. If you don't want to deal with the PITA, it's your right to just say no, you know. What I'm asking for is an informed assessment of how the various PITAs balance out if (a) you have to deal with all of them, or (b) you don't have to deal with any of them. Do you think Lars would be amenable to actually splitting Gnus up if we did the work? How about if we took over the maintenance of the XEmacs-specific parts of Gnus? -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
