Is anybody still developing DCoracle2? What happened to matt@zope.com? His mail bounces... no longer at zope.com? I wrote to Matt and the following message bounced...

At upper right on http://zope.org/Members/matt/dco2 you can see "Latest Release: Pre Release 1", but that seems to be very old. AFAICT the latest stable release is actually 1.2. Maybe it's time to declare 1.3 stable? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's PROTO WINO! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)

I have been known to make a tweak or two ;-)
What happened to matt@zope.com?
He became matt@bane.mi.org ;-)

Zope.org is something I don't really touch anymore; I find it awkward to work with, and the payoff isn't there. The CVS sources are OK. If I were to do a lot of further maintenance on the project I'd be inclined to move it to sourceforge, I think.

The latest CVS is always "stable" in the sense that I never left things checked in that were obviously busted (nonobvious bustings get called features, you pay more for those). The version nomenclature was mostly a nod to how often I built the binaries, which isn't very often, since everyone asks for "can I have a binary for python X against Oracle Y on platform Z" and the build complexity ran up to some 21 or so permutations and I stopped being interested in trying to maintain a private build farm of those platforms. Fortunately, everyone *except* the Windows users can build their own binaries. However, I no longer have access to a Windows build environment (well, perhaps I have an old old version of Visual C++ if I ever find the CD) so I don't build binaries anymore.
Thanks for the updates Matt! I see there's also a DCOracle2 section in the dev.zope.org site. Probably that's out of date too... On Wed, Mar 03, 2004 at 10:57:48AM -0500, Matthew T. Kromer wrote:

I still have VC++ 6.0 and would be happy to do builds when requried if someone explains the process to me... I DON'T have Oracle though :-( cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

Earlier in the evening I read about him in the plone-users or Archetypes-devel lists. He has a new email address. The message is deleted already in my mail folder... -- Dieter
