Yes, it's taking embarrassingly long, but we are inching forward. I've made some progress with the Cypress experiment, the github project (https://github.com/mkobetic/Xtreams) now has branches for VW, Pharo and ST/X. The branches still have differences that shouldn't be there, but we're getting there. It would be fantastic if Sean or somebody would meet me halfway with the Filetree tweaks for prefix to namespace mapping. Anyway, I still intend to get there eventually, but I have to admit that I'm spending a lot less time in Smalltalk these days. FWIW I definitely haven't lost interest though. That said, I think all three ports are relatively solid (Thanks Nicolas, Frank, Jan, ...!). The core components haven't changed much in a while (although there are few things that I would like to improve there, I'll create issues for those on google code eventually), so there shouldn't be much catching up to do. Most of the recent activity was building on top of the core, that's primarily where VW is ahead (multiplexing, compression, ...) and where more should be done (e.g. compression can offer a lot more beyond just deflate). > Maybe, you and Nicolas should sync up a bit. I'll also try to answer any questions that I'll notice on the mailing lists. I'm monitoring issues on google code, feel free to raise anything there as well.
