	There is a new post on gmane.mail.alpine.info (which reflects the 
alpine list at http://www.washington.edu/alpine/alpine-info/) from Steve 
Hubert, in the name of the alpine team, responding to a post from Robert 
Holtzman titled "alpine status."

	It says there will be a new release soon, and that UW will remain 
the primary source, "but shift our effort from direct development into 
more of a consultation and coordination role to help integrate 
contributions from the community."

	Sounds to me like they've been studying Fedora or something like 
it -- and may soon be inviting others to help code. Strength to their 
arms!
