Egg of Coot wrote:Hey all,As a member of the DF web team, man about town, and Bohemian haberdasher, I can vouch for the continuing work being done on Len's latest projects. Work is progressing, albeit slowly, on L4. The L5 project is much less developed at present - I'm actually one of the 'donkeys' employed in working on it - and it is thus a lesser priority. I'll make a point of poking Solomoriah at some point soon to try and get a more detailed report on where things are at and post it here. To answer the most obvious question, as far as I know there is no set release date for L4 other than 'when it's done'. Y'all gotta keep in mind that Len isn't the techno-geek we are and deals with DF via a number of intermediaries which makes things complicated at times. Also, none of the DF Publishing staff are being paid to work on this project - It's strictly a volunteer run gig. We've got some outstandingly dedicated and talented folks working on a lot of projects (speaking for myself, I wear more hats at DF than I can keep track of), but we've all got lives and obligations beyond the site. As much as I would like to drop everything to work on modules non-stop, I've gotten incredibly used to having food and shelter in my old age . . . For those of you who are eagerly awaiting the release of Len's next module, all I can say is please be patient. Better still, why don't some of y'all volunteer to help us get it out . . .The Egg
