Hello Joerg,

I'm still on vacation (Alex was first, now it is my turn) but I wan't to
answer this E-Mail to provide further confusion. The question "where is
the plugin source?" was answered before on this list:

http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-dev@lists.berlios.de/msg00604.html

The article on Linuxmagazin is NOT written by us. The plugin is still
not released. The whole new version is still not released.

The last weeks I was forced to visit my lawyer because of the name "x2go".

As I know that our community want's to access the source in a more
convenient way, we'll work on a public git.

As we don't know if we can keep the name "x2go" we'll do this after this
decision is made - or at last after I'm back from vacation to meet Alex
again.

bye,

Heinz
