Dead technology or not, there are some legal hurtles here, not to
mention the technical ones.
Anybody remember Transact? (spelling?) Look how far that got (or not)
before it dropped off the radar.

Any takers?

Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Open Letter to Phil and Sophie
I think there may have been a time when I would consider putting
some of my money toward that. At this point, I don't think its worth
it. It is dead. Even if Witango 6 finally came out, which doesn't
seem likely, it is so far behind other languages. It is still buggy
and lacking so many features that are found in other languages. Not
only that, once you move on, you find so many OTHER aspects that you
were missing in witango, that the cool studio just won't blow your
skirt up anymore.
I would have loved to have at least purchased the v6 studio for some
of my old clients that are not worth porting to php, and one client
that doesn't have the budget yet to port. I am actually debating
porting some of those smaller clients/sites over to php at my own
expense. It would be worth not having to continue to manage the old
witango servers, and go through the crazy hoops to keep a 5.5 studio
working.
We have built a pretty big framework for porting over witango to
php. I have thought about writing an app in RB to convert witango to
php. It is definitely something I could do, but where is the market?
In order to make my money back I would have to sell it for way too
much money. The witango community has dwindled down to almost
nothing. Even if witango v6 was released, at this point, I don't
think it has any chance of survival. Even if Phil and Sophie just
gave it to the community as open source, I don't think it could
survive. And I mean REAL open source, not the open source they
referred to previously with version 6. That is not open source. It
is just a way to get somebody else to do their dev for free, yet
they still make the money. No Thanks.

Phil, Sophie;
we, the community love Witango (formely Tango) and we love to use it.
Tell us a price to buying the source and to make TANGO as open
source project.
