Well after a very tense day for the Xoops community, it seems that Herko has come to the rescue and after a lengthy chat with Catz over the phone has managed to convince Catz to reconsider his rash departure. Catz's decision to call it quits today took everyone by suprise, even those working closest with him on the Xoops project. After shutting down his site, he posted a fairly critical explination of why he was leaving, which out of respect for Catz I will not post. Not that it was that bad, it was just rather pointed and we all have days when we get overwelmed by the frustration of it all and want to through it in.
