Philippe,
Don't worry, I'm part of the Cincom Seaside team (I'm currently in
Cincinnati at an internal "Camp Seaside"). The hard work you could see
was actually the result of requests from the team. As a matter of fact
we are currently working on three VW ports of Seaside: two from myself
(2.7 and 2.8) and "one from Cincom" (2.8). The two ports from myself are
intended to keep users of the existing VW ports up-to-date until the
Cincom supported port is available.
Regarding committing to SqueakSource, I'm the only one from the Cincom
Seaside team who has formally agreed to the MIT licensing so far.
Cheers,
Michel.
