If you look through posts here you will see that I addressed some of your concerns through various posts.  This project is hardly "dead".  I have been answering the questions as they come in at these forums and asp.net.  We also have been getting the subproject teams going which is no small task.  There is lots of "red tape" to get a subproject going from contributor agreements to simple organization and setting guidelines and finally communication.  Doing all this along with trying to manage other aspects of the project and being one of the three developers working on the two modules thus far definately slows down the entire release process. 

As I have said in other posts, the gallery has suffered a bit because I was busy with work that I do for a living and I have been very consumed by the forums.  As much as I want the projects to succeed I have to pay my bills first. 

There was a release for 3.1.  For future reference, subprojects are not required to release with the core project.  I have also stated the forums will release when 3.1.1 does and the gallery would follow shortly after that. 

The last response to this thread was on 16 July, and it is now 4 September... What is the latest word on posting permanent fixes to this module?

It is a great module and many of my clients want to use it, however, I'm unable to consistantly make it work.

Any update would be GREATLY appreciated!
