The mailing list is definitely active. There is only one developer, Henrik, to my knowledge.
It is far from dead. Pretty sure there is code changes at least once a week, often several times a week. One developer getting it this far is, as far as I am concerned, something to be proud of.
About the Windows stuff...I am not even going to touch it coming from such an un-objective view =P You have BBWIN as a client which should cover what you need, though.

Hi Doug,
I agree. I've not had Hobbit installed here for some time now (too much to do, not enough time) and after looking at the SF site, feared the project had died as well. I think that the public facing part of the project is as important as the code development itself - keeping people informed about the project status is actually important - if all potential customers see the project as being dead, well...
I'm hoping to again look at Hobbit in the near(ish) future and am definitely glad the project is having some development still - it is a nice, usable product, however I'd like to see a little more Windows environment support (stats and monitoring, not the hobbit project running on Windows) as that's where most of our client base lies...

Pretty confident your only option to enable holidays is to get the snapshot. 4.3.0 has yet to release - please do not ask when it will be released =)
I won't ask when it will be released, I'm just glad there is development going on. To those of you doing the development, thank you. You may want to update the Sourceforge page every once in a while, though, so people don't think the project is entirely dead. When I went there I was afraid the whole project had collapsed, judging from the dates of last updates and the one lonely guy in the messgae forum saying "Is this project alive?" - and that appears to be the only forum message in the last couple years.
I'm relieved to hear, on this list, that hobbit is being actively developed. You don't have to promise release dates or anything, but you may want to just post a note on the Sourceforge page every couple months saying "the project sis still alive and under development" or "Maybe a new version sometime later this year" or whatever.
I'm curious about what people mean when they say they're running "4.2.0 with the all-inclusive patch". Hobbit has patches? I didn't even know. I thought the 4.2.0 source code package was the latest thing. Posting patches at Sourceforge might also not be a bad idea.
Anyways just a suggestion. Thanks for the work on the project, Josh.
