Speaking as someone unable to contribute code to the client as its too heavily tide into the server (which I cant make heads not tails of), how will any move effect things? how will it help? wont it just be rearranging things again that have little, if anything, to do with getting anything actually done?
I am still massively enthusiastic about WFP as a communication method, and making a good reference client and server is the way to push it. The web needs this. However, promotion "in general" will do more harm then good. Promoting to potential coders? sure. But the public? Your just repeating Googles mistake and pushing something that isnt remotely ready. ~~~ Thomas & Bertines online review show: http://randomreviewshow.com/index.html Try it!
