interpreted = N
texte = Fair enough, but given the hysteria (FUD) about this, perhaps someone could untie your hands or use their own words to explain what the plans are? I awoke this morning wondering whether I would need to freeze my webdna development and/or move, at long last, to PHP entirely. After my own private conversations, I'm not so worried. However, in the absence of an official announcement, people will assume the worst or at least something bad. Bill-----Original Message-----From: Scott Anderson

I know that in the past I have been fairly open with discussing upcomming WebDNA features and release dates. But it has been made clear to me that that information should not be posted outside of official SMSI announcements. So my hands are kinda tied.-----Original Message-----From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Ofnitai@computeroil.comSent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 12:49 PMTo: WebDNA TalkSubject: Re: WebDNA dying or ... ?Hi ScottThis is good to hear, but I expected a little bit more "lines" then a one liner.Maybe you can let us know what new features or enhancements the new version will have?I think SMSI needs to let its customers know what will be the future and what they can expect.Nitai--Redakto CMS - Content Management that simply worksRedakto eServices - Professional WebHelpDeskRedakto ImagePark - Innovative Asset Management ComputerOil® AGNeugutstrasse 668600 Dübendorf / SwitzerlandTelefon +41 (0)844 44 55 66 info@computeroil.comhttp://computeroil.com> -----Original Message-----> From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com] On Behalf Of> Scott Anderson> Sent: Mittwoch, 6.
