When I subscribed the list I got this automated message from Laszlo
Systems (not CP!):

"The mailing lists are hosted by Laszlo Systems, but Laszlo Systems
employees participate in the lists as members of the community,
essentially on their own time and in the spirit of the collaborative
nature of any open source project. In particular, the lists are not an
official support mechanism and you should not expect an answer to any
particular question, from Laszlo Systems employees or anyone else."

Note this sentence: "In particular, the lists are not an official
support mechanism and you should not expect an answer to any
particular question, from Laszlo Systems employees or anyone else."

The welcome message needs to be updated, unless CP is trying to hide
the fact that OpenLaszlo is a Critical Path product right now. It
looks like the Critical Path Webtop system is a dead product. They try
to create a nice marketing message:
http://www.cp.net/index.php/news-2/280-news-radicati-top-player
"The Radicati Group names Critical Path ‘Top Player’ ... Messaging
platforms are robust, highly scalable, brandable, and localizable
offerings."

How robust and stable is your messaging platform if you don't maintain
one of the key platforms you are using for building highy-priced
products. Critical Path has a bad reputation anyway, haven't heard
anything good about the company from people in the Bay Area and people
working for one of the other companies they acquired. I wouldn't be
surprised if all former Laszlo employees have left the company by now.
