Suggests that they are. Is your mirror stale ?

I saw that in his reply to my journal comment too and thought the same but
on looking at the docs it isn't obvious that there is a mailing list.

The website at www.tt2.org lists one but that's not linked from the docs
either as far as I can see.

Anyway, Andy appears to be AWL, and he really wanted some minor issues
with the Makefile/deps cleaned up, so he released them. He's not looking
to apply patches or lib changes unless Andy remains AWL for a lot
longer

IIRC, Andy has a rather complex set of source files that are used to build
the docs for a release so what's on CPAN is not enough to do the whole
job. Do you know if Alias used the CVS version ?

#cvs

Although I suspect that the small changes wouldn't be affected by this.

There are no changes apart from on certain installs, see the Changes file
for info.

Don't get me wrong, I've very happy to have someone step up and contribute
in such a way, I was just commenting on the lack of announcement to the
list. I'm amazed that someone could care enough to get joint
maintainership WITHUT coming across the mailing list. IT was more of a
social than a technical observation :-)

Although Andy Wardley hasn't posted to Templates since 9th December, I
have seen an email from him (to a less public list) as recently as
Tuesday morning.

I also wonder if Adam's versions were from cvs or from the 2.15
release.

Does Andy want to put what time he might have into TT3? Maybe TT2
should be put up someplace where more development can happen -- and
happen as a group so there are not different versions floating around.

I suspect there's a large base of TT2 users so changes will come up.

I'm running my own version now, as well, to handle patches I've posted
-- one just recently that was warnocked.
