Anyone's opinion is valued, of course; but I'm especially interested in hearing from any DDs who might read this . . . I'm curious what the etiquette is about inquiring into the status of an ITP. On one hand, I'm reluctant to ask because I don't want to seem like I'm prodding the developer who posted the ITP, especially when he/she has volunteered time to do this. I don't want to be rude or seem ungrateful. But OTOH, if I knew for a fact that it wouldn't be coming soon, then I'd be more likely to go ahead and pull time from all the other stuff I'm supposed to be doing and try to learn how to put it together myself (I'm not a developer by any stretch; but I can run Make and google on compile errors and so on). Would it seem annoying to you to get such an inquiry after a couple of months? Six months after posting the ITP? A year? If there's some point when it isn't rude, is it more appropriate to do it by mailing to the WNPP bug, or by a private email to the DD?
