James, I have been traveling for the last couple of months, so I missed
this email.  Vivace is definitely not dead, but has been on hold while I
have been working on other things.  I would love to coordinate with you
on any updates and improvements you would like to make.

There is one major performance issue with vivace-graph as it stands now;
 I have plans to remedy this issue in the coming months as I am working
on a new project that will be relying on vivace.  I can go into the
details of the inefficiencies if you care to know more.

Cheers,
Kevin

James,

My branch (kraison) is canonical at this point.

This sounds like a good idea;  I will take a look at the threading code
in VG and see if I can come up with a list of things that need to be done.

This is definitely problematic;  I will take some time over the holiday
break to look into it, unless you have already had a chance.


Cheers,
Kevin
