Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was the last message Phil sent out to this list back on October 27th, 2008. It's been almost a year since we've had any official news.
I don't know if anyone has had any contact with Phil off-list in the past 11 months but to not have an official announcement or news in the I.T. world would make one presume the product is dead. That being said, there's no need to complain and bitch. As Scott said the writing is on the wall, time to move on. This whole discussion was started because Robert wanted to contribute something to the community and maybe help some people transition a little smoother to another technology instead of a crisis in re-writing applications in a hurry because the technology has been outgrown or left in the dust. I agree that Robert should get permission, however if there is no response how long is he supposed to wait? I believe the legal definition of copying or unauthorized use is when someone is making a profit from someone else's technology which is not the case here.

The hold up is all legal issues and related to locating and isolating 3rd part code that has been used in the server under license and replacing it with open API calls so we can go open source. This is taking a lot longer than we thought. We understand that some developers have out grown the platform and have moved on to other platforms, that is their prerogative. We have plans to keep supporting Witango while there are people out there wanting to use it. To this end, can I ask that the you take up Robert's offer and move the porting to PHP discussion to his forum - http://devcom.bighead.net/ . And yes we do have a lot of holidays down here minimum of 30 days leave a year which is 4 weeks statutory leave plus New Years Day, Australia Day, Anzac Day, Easter Friday and Monday, Queen's Birthday, Labour Day, Melbourne Cup Day, Christmas and Boxing Day, etc. Keeps us a happy and family oriented business. The Witango portion of our business is running above expectations albeit a little behind schedule. Apart from that we are just moving ahead at a steady pace. If you have any specific issues or questions contact me off list.
