I've always been curious about that question.Was there a technical reason (i.e. inability to integrate it to emerging webdevelopment trends, lack of new potential features that would justifyfurther upgrade cycles) or did SM just lose interest, or is/are there someother reason(s)?I'd be interested in your theories - is there any reason to push for an opensource version, or should this dead horse stay dead because it isirrelevant?Your long suffering friend,Will Starck-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
