Subject:  Further development of GNUJSP




Hi everybody,

Due to a busy daytime job and changed interests I have decided to not
continue development of GNUJSP, which means I won't implement a JSP 1.0
compliant version of GNUJSP. A lot of people have asked me about this,
and I have thought about this long and hard. In the end I concluded my
heart was not completely in it, and that would not be good for the
quality of such a piece of software.

It has been a fun year, with lots of nice and encouraging emails from
all of you, and a positive atmosphere in the JSP community. Thank you
all for that! Maybe the readers of the GNUJSP mailing list will
cooperate and build a JSP 1.0 compliant version, maybe the Jakarta
project will be able to use the GNUJSP code, maybe someone will do a
complete rewrite. All options are open, that's what free software is all
about!

Regards, Vincent.
