RE: [VOTE] Switching development to C#
Costin, it's even better! since it _is_ language independant we could have all developers leverage the language they already know! YES! you can use Java aswell, and everyone here knows the supported 1.4.x JDK release, right? The BASIC guys could even extend the Java classes and vice versa... and it all works!

From: Marc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Having become convinced by Andy that C# and .NET are the wave of the future, I'm proposing that we switch poi development to C#. We have another problem!!! Mountain View, CA -- Sun Microsystems today filed a trademark infringement against the island of Java* over the use of Sun's Java* trademark. Responding to criticism that the island has been called Java* for centuries, Sun lawyer Frank Cheatham said Yeah, and in all that time they never filed for a trademark. They deserve to lose the name. Rather than pay the licensing fee, the island decided to change its name. They originally voted to change it to Visu Albasic, but an angry telegram from Redmond, Washington convinced them otherwise. The country finally settled on a symbol for a name -- a neatly-colored coffee cup which still evokes the idea of java. Since most newspapers and magazines will not be able to print the name of the island, it will hereafter be referred to in print as The Island Formerly Known As Java*. The Island Formerly Known As Java* bills itself as a cross-landmass island, but so far has only been implemented in production on the Malay Archipelago. Africa is been rumored to have implemented it on Madagascar, but it is still in alpha testing. Lawyers from Sun would also like to locate the owners of the huge fiery ball at the center of the solar system. They have some legal papers for them... *Java is a Trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc. Anyone caught using the trademark without permission will be beaten, flogged, sued, and forced to use Microsoft products. (Taken from an old Usenet post.)
