Press/news announcements almost never garner warm fuzzies on the devel
list.  That's not to say they're not appreciated; I think a lot of
people in the community genuinely like to hear such things.  It's
okay, don't worry.  It's takes a while to realize that silence on this
list doesn't imply apathy, rather it usually means tacit improval.
For example, see the recent LJ article I sent a message to the list
about.

Right.. you noticed that Dan and I both noticed it before you.  So to
a lot of developers that wasn't news.  That's ok.

I've been nothing but supportive of Darwine in everything I've
written.  I'd like to think WWN provides the biggest window into the
Wine development process of anything else the project does.  The rest
of the world not on wine-devel knows more about Wine through WWN than
any other way.  I'm fairly confident when I say that every Wine
developer would like to see Wine runnng on Mac OS X.  It's certainly
my personal view, so that's the one that goes into WWN.  I regularly
browse the Darwine mailing list and you may have seen threads from
there appear in WWN.  Did you by any chance read this section of WWN
from  last month?
http://www.winehq.org/?issue=311#News:%20Windows%20on%20Macintels

Now, as far as not feeling the love, I'd strongly encourage as many
Darwine developers as possible to attend Wineconf in September.  I
know last year I personally invited Pierre.

Anyway, don't take code criticism too personally on wine-devel.  I
really don't understand why you think the whole community is against
you when I think the whole community is on your side.  (Anyone want to
prove me wrong?)
