(Whacks self with ruler) My first search must have been set to "stable only"; on second glance, I see that there is a new Erlang maintainer, and new packages in unstable. It really is a cool language; the only one I know of with a really usable concurrency model. (C/C++ have no concurrency model; Java's requires programmers to stick the "synchronized" keyword in all the right places; Haskell's use of lazy evaluation to model coroutines is cute, but not at all the same thing, just as their two-line qsort demo isn't really a qsort if you look at it closely; etc.) Craig
