I don't see that as relevant. Then again, if you're needing to look for the precompiled version, maybe you're setting a much lower bar than I am. *shrug*

Shoooes is still very much being developed, but it seems like only two people are really contributing at the moment. As someone else mentioned, the mailing list has technically moved to librelist, so the Google Group doesn't get as many posts. Some people still do post there, however. I can't comment on the irc channel, as I haven't been on irc in about a month. But with only two really active developers, you can see how there wouldn't be a large amount of list traffic. Just today there's a discussion about what needs to be wrapped up for the release of Shoooes 3. The only thing preventing shoooes from becoming a vibrant project again is the number of people who stopped using it because _why left.

Huh? I thought shoes was its own ruby distro, which is why it doesn't use MRI-installed gems. Is this not the case? |
