[SoC] Re: [GSoC Project] Time to thank you :)

[Klaus D. Witzel]

Hello Narsenians :)
Hello SoCers :)

  [ I put a small part of the correspondence below on OpenNARS list and on  
Squeak's SoC List (if that works) ]

Thanks a *lot* for the project, for the fun we had, for the results and  
for working together on the future :)

Now that OpenNARS can be operated with a web browser from a Seaside  
server, I believe that it will find ever more friends and users %0.5;0.9%  
;)

Cedrick I like your new page

- http://nars.seasidehosting.st/

it looks like NARS and smells like NARS ;) How about a decent a page  
title, you certainly have already thought about it.

Pei we are all happy you shared your outstanding knowledge and work with  
us in this project, thank you so much.

I'm looking forward to future steps into the OpenNARS direction in a world  
with free software.

Cheers,
Klaus
