Phil, last week I asked the smalltalk community (ESUG etc), to stay claim and wait for Apple to think about it based on an email<br>
exchange I had with Steve Jobs. At the time I thought it prudent to wait a further decision or statement.<br>
<br>
Give that Wired publish Alan & my thoughts on the matter it's likely now time to consider what to do next.<br>
<br>
So this is NOT the fault of ESUG not being proactive, they were itching to do something.<br>
<br>
At the moment I believe they are collecting ideas how to approach the problem in a meaningful manner.<br>
Suggestions are welcome.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Port to Android asap. Competitive pressure can make Apple move. I'm not sure about anything else.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

Wouldn't now be a good time to try to get some visibility on the larger issue?<br>
