Well, from what I have heard so far, the problem seems more one of
publicity than interest. I think a lot of people either missed that
first annoncement, or were busy with just installing the new version at
the time.

From what everyone has been saying, everyone seems to either not know
about it, or remember the announcement vaegly, but not realize something
was ever actually done.

I think that if a message with more information was put in these
newsgroups and/or the web pages and/or C.G.R.R., there would be much
more interest this time around.

Having a seperate newsgroup in here on that topic might help, too. I
think it is worth giving it another shot...

Just my 0.023 cents. =)
