I am interested. The latest exim (4.66) is 2 years old, if it gets much older
it will start to rot. I notice that 'tom' has been making changes ...
There are some nice BOF rooms at that venue.
I think that it would be very helpful if we were to prepare some kind
of outline on what we would like to achieve. I'll chuck in a few
suggestions to get the ball rolling:
* Bug fixes - how we prioritise
* Enhancements - what new features do we need
* External changes - should we collect/merge back in ?
I am thinking of changes that Linux-distros/... may have made.
* Funding - could we pursuade some large corporates/... with a bit of funding
that could be used to pay someone to do this -- perhaps part time.
I nominate Niall & myself as scribes of the event -- to try and get some
kind of report out to this list/whereever.
