Cornice
Frets on Fire
PokerTH
Stellarium

It's not easy keeping up with all these. As always, It'll Be Done When It's Done!
But too busy wasting programming time by typing the same polite message to morons who can't read and are too impatient to wait.
Good one.
No, it's not
If someone needs to make a rude response, they should let someone's do it.

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
John Haller and each and every person who assist in this effort do a wonderful job. Personally, I am grateful for the results of their work.
Maybe VITO_1978 should volunteer to assist in the efforts to develop and test these applications. I am sure John could use another hand.
In addition to keeping up with version releases of the portable APPS, there are efforts going on for:
a) Improvements to the Menu Platform
b) Vista impacts
c) Windows 7 impacts
May hat is off to John!
Just my not so humble opinions.

If I am being called a "moron" by this idiot Steve Gutry for pointing out that ~20% of the portable apps are out of date, then why should I volunteer? besides, It is not like my life is on hold till those apps are updated. I am not impatient. I am just pointing out POLITELY that many apps are outdated. I did not say "what the hell is wrong with you idiots, why can't you update the apps right now, i need them updated asap..." so chill out, I am not starting an argument.
The reason there was a couple week delay on the apps was that the new Format and Installer were being completed first (which also includes fixes for Windows 7 compatibility of both the launchers and installers). These were both due out 2 weeks ago but an illness in the family was taking my time.
The new Installer and Format were posted today:
https://portableapps.com/news/2009-05-16_-_portableapps.com_installer_0....
so you'll start seeing app updates tomorrow.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thank you John. Steve Gutry, you might want to learn few things from John. I asked a question, and he answered my question. He did not go in circles and call me a "moron"
Firstly, I'm very grateful for everyone's efforts, because I know this isn't a full time job.
I think it would be good to update the Apps according to how popular they are (like OpenOffice.org), then by the significance of the update (new features, bug fixes), then by importance of the app (whether or not there are other apps with similar functionality)
(If there are enough suitable developers, obviously...)
