Yes, it is active. Most times only the first discussions are go over the
list. If the problems get deeper, direct mailing is prefered. So if you
want to see all, please check the mailing list archive at www.gom.com,
which contains NOT only the mailing list stuff, but ALSO all direct mail.

Yes, the latest version is 0.7.1. You can download it direcly from
ftp.gom.com or from sunsite.unc.edu.
If you want to use smp this is the only version suitable for you.
