Not being a hands on programmer, could not do the troubleshooting required and dropped it, though colleagues at my company have been using it for some projects. I have been following discussions on this list though, without fully understanding their content... At my company, there is a suggestion to use more of Grok for further projects, but I am a bit bothered by there being no new releases in 5 quarters, since April 2011. Should I view it as an indicator of stability, or as a lack of community support, or an emphasis on downloading the current code from the repository and building it?<br>

</div>I have used Grok for the past three years without any problems. I find it to be very stable. Nothing much I miss and I am happy with the current low frequency release cycle.<br>
<br>
I solve most problems by dropping into the debugger and looking around.<br>
<br>
Issues with installation have often been resolved by searching the mailing list, posting here or visiting the #grok irc-channel. Lots of helpful people. I know Windows has few users here, you would probably be better off developing and deploying on Linux/Mac OSX. We use Mac OSX for development and Ubuntu for deployment.<br>
<br>
Regarding long term commitment, I know there are quite a few of the core developers have committed to the platform in big projects.<br>
<br>
You will need someone who is comfortable dropping into the debugger and reading docs in eggs to be successful in adopting Grok, other than that it is a nice and productive framework and I am very happy with it.<br>
<br>
Mvh Sebastian<br>
