:laugh: You're kidding right?
How about selfish users expecting
free updates for life on a
free use-at-your-own-risk hack.
So if you publish a
free add-on, then you are obligated to update it and keep it maintained for life? for
free??
and if for some reason the author does not have the free time or inclination to update the add-on then they are being selfish???
And I suppose the more popular or useful the
free add-on is, the more selfish the person is being by not keeping it updated?
It could just be that crist is burnt out on Anymedia or he doesn't have much time left to work on
free projects at the moment.
But is there anything stopping you or anyone else from fixing the things you need fixed yourself (or hiring someone to do so) and publishing your fixes or changes here?
Just tackle the problems yourself, or wait for someone else does until Crist gets here.
I imagine since this project is somewhat popular, if Crist drops the ball too much longer, then someone else will pick up this project and run with it as they have with several other projects.
