Simon,
I hate to bother you, but you seem like the person who is taking over
Maypole. Do you know what's happened to the listserv and what's
happening with Maypole?
I'd greatly appreciate any info you can give. I'm considering rewriting
my app with pure HTML::Mason and Class::DBI and writing Maypole out.
It's not something I want to do, but the future of Maypole seems a bit
shaky right now.
Thanks.
