[hobbit] hobbit-holidays.cfg not present

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Perhaps some of the more active Hobbit proponents might get themselves
signed up as developers on SourceForge and brush up the site a little?
If nothing else, add pointers to The Shire and the mailing list, and
mention that SourceForge facilities are NOT being used to manage the
development/release process...

Josh, I agree - the project seems to be quite active and that's great.
My comment was that it *looks* dead from a public view.  Anyone who does
not subscribe to this list would assume, just from looking at the
existing Source Forge Site and Hobbit site, that no changes have been
made for years.  The main "about" page mentions that the latest release
was 2005.  The Source Forge main project page lists 4.2.0 as released in
2006.

I think Henrik is doing a great job and I'd rather have a developer
doing development than PR.  I don't blame him if he doesn't want to
spend any time on web updates, I'm sure the project consumes more than
enough of his free time as it is.  And that's fine with me, this isn't a
criticism.  I still get to use this very nice software.  All I meant was
that the project *looks* dead from the outside to anyone who is not on
this list, so hypothetically if we wanted to grow the user community and
maybe attract more developers, it might be a good idea to spend 30
minutes every couple months just posting "a this project is still alive"
status message.

Cheers,
