Alot of patches have been flowing into the layer.So would you like to leave it as Maintained or change it to "Odd Fixes"? (Maintained => a maintainer) From the MAINTAINTERS file: Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this. Maintained: Someone actually looks after it. Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do much other than throw the odd patch in. See below.. Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the role as you write your new code]. Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means it has been replaced by a better system and you should be using that. ...If you start doing this, there are a lot more entries that need to be changed... Which of Supported/Maintained/"Odd Fixes" is written doesn't matter in practice. What matters is that James' email address gets into the entry so that patches and bug reports reach him. James' work is definitely no below the average of entries marked as Maintained.
At this point I would say maintained. Plus Tony is coming back :-) Its just recently I have been working on various other things like the display class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
