Re: Zim project status

 

Dear Jaap,

thanks for the update. Personally, Zim Wiki works like a charm as it
is, so I won't be the one bothering for updates. Of course, I
understand the importance of bugfixes that affect other users, but
each one of us is supposed to have a life beside our side projects...
so we'll understand if you take your time. :)

In the meanwhile, thanks a lot again to you and to everyone who
contributed to this fantastic piece of software.

Bests
