texte = O.K., I have no idea what the plans are but, in hearing comments from everyone for quite a while now, I thought I'd broach this topic since it is the end of the week and seems to need to be talked about. The subject line is not some last dich plea.. it's really a fact. It would be a shame for this language (which is really much more than a programming language) to go away. I am hoping we can get some comments / commitment from the ppl at SMSI on this. It's time. If SMSI is having trouble justifying the resources to support this app.. I would suggest that it just wouldn't take a whole lot of resources to (at least) bring the build to a current compatible level... compatible with all the latest OS's / WebServers. This commitment is imparitive to keep any value in WebDNA.. and to keep the faith of the existing developers. You don't need an expensive marketing campaign, you don't need expensive R&D for new features.. but I do think SMSI needs to (at the least) invest that minimal amount of resources to get this app up to date. An updated "patch" will go a long way to keep folks investing in the product (I won't even bring up pricing at this point). If SMSI can't justify the resources to do those minimal fixes.. there *are* other options. I think there are people on this list who would either know someone, or be capable themselves to help get this engine up to date. Now, I don't want this thread to become a SMSI bashing thread... which is counter productive. However, I obviously have no control over that. But I will bet that others will agree with me that there needs to be at least that minimal investment from SMSI. SMSI, you all have invested a significant amount of energy into the product. This is not the time to let it go. I think a slogan from a certain unique segment of the american scociety can be of some use here....
