Phil
Are you around? Or is anyone around that knows anything about this?
Did this project go any further or is it just another in a decade
long trail of Ecco follow-up dead ends. (Excuse my sarcasm Phil, you
don't owe us anything, of course you have other things to do. But I
can't help being disgusted with the continuous chain of "monumental"
announcements followed by a big brew ha ha and much hand wringing,
followed by either an immediate or a slow and torturous dead end.
AYE CARUMBA!)
I am still astounded that in 10 years, nothing has developed to be a
successor for ECCO. As I have said, there are dozens of open source
projects that are dedicated to far less useful programs. Why the
heck didn't an Eccolike PIM ever get started on that basis (without
NM altogether...who needs them.). It baffles me to this day.
I'm traumatized by a decade of this!
