I also read the list and am as frustrated as anyone else with the lack of support and communication from With. This lack of communication and news on the product is one of the reasons my company has decided to move away from Witango. It's hard to defend a product to management types when you don't hear about it, no one seems to be using it and the only real support you can contact are the people on this list and a semi-searchable e-mail archive. Has anyone thought of suggesting to a larger company, like Apple or Oracle, that they look at Witango as an acquisition? We are moving to Oracle and in the training I have taken so far their reporting and programming tools are far from the power Witango provides. Yes, I know Witango is supposed to be going open source but, to me anyway, it seems like another dead end. I mean, six months with no word? Even if things are running into roadblocks, which always seems to happen, at least there could be monthly communication stating that fact. Some of us must have contacts within larger companies that might be able to get them to at least look at Witango and evaluate it. Some company other than Pervasive that is. *grins* If Apple or Oracle picked up Witango I imagine within a relatively short time we'd see improvements, additional functionality, and communications. It would also make it much, much easier to sell to customers (I consider my management a customer) if we could say, "Witango is an Apple (or place your large company name here) product." Just a thought.

I can understand everyone's frustration in this regard. Although I don't post much, I do read emails on the list. Communication is very important, and because of the lack of communication unfortunately many people have left the WiTango technology. I can only hope that the delay is because of something really good on the horizon. I don't know how WiTango sales have been, or how much interest there is in the community, but I hope it's enough to keep WiTango going.

I have sent three back channel emails maybe more email to customer support will get a response. But I agree communication keep declining and I fail to understand why that is. I still love the product and even if 6 never came out I would continue with 5.5 but it is a reasonable request from the community that we be kept in the loop. Last we heard there were just a few legal issues to resolve with open source license but then nothing. It has been since 2/11/2008 since we had the last official word. 6 months.
