Subject: Re: [hobbit] APOLOGY - When is the next hobbit going to be released GRIPE
In my opinion... the wording in the FAQ is harsh. I thought the response to the original post was harsh but as part of the original post it could possibly be taken in context but not so much in the FAQ. Why be rude? some one has gone to the trouble of reading the FAQ instead of/before posting so we should be polite and helpful ;-).
Anyone care to improve on:
----START----
Hobbit is under active development but a release date for the next version has not been announced. The current development snapshot is available for download from sourceforge if required. If you are chasing a specific bug fix or feature not currently available within the existing production release, please search the archive and/or post a query to the general discussion mailing list to see if there is a solution available. You can subscribe to the list by sending an e-mail to user-893db75bb8de@xymon.invalid. A searchable archive of the list is available at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/
Please subscribe to the hobbit announcement list to be notified of the release of new versions. You can subscribe to the list by sending an e-mail to user-7164a4496079@xymon.invalid.
----END----
Cheers
Phil

The question is akin to the kids in the back seat, going "Are we there
yet?" every minute or so on a long trip.
It may be better to amend the FAQ entry with this analogy ... as PHBs will
probably understand it better ...
