Re: [sup-talk] sup: Fix for an UndefinedMethodError

[Steven Hum <sdothum@gmail.com>]

There was some activity not long ago by some sup users who are trying to 
keep sup afloat -- by attempting to rebuild a sup wiki (the original one 
had degraded horribly w/o a moderator) and look at current state of sup 
(and its forks?). 

Unfortunately, I don't have those mailing list messages in my archives 
anymore -- I don't hang onto list mail long. But you should be able to 
comb the list mail to identify a few people who are trying to spear head 
this.

I need to investigate this too.. as I currently use ezyang's fork for 
imap maildir handling and would be interested if all the good things 
people have added to sup can be rolled back into an official sup master.

Regards,
Steven
