I know Rick is going to respond to this note but I want to add my two 
cents as well.

The entire team is more than a little frustrated. We seem to be doing a 
LOT of work but it never seems to advance the project. We are still 
working with the same core team as 3 years ago. This is not good for the 
project or ooRexx.

Each and every person using ooRexx (and lets face it, there are not that 
many of us) has a responsibility to contribute back to the project. Yes 
I know the license does not require that, but anyone using ooRexx who 
has no contributed should feel VERY GUILTY! ooRexx is one of the finest 
open source interpreters in the marketplace and yet neither the product 
or the project gets the support they deserve.

I am sure the rest of the ooRexx team has similar feelings. This lack of 
support can not continue. Either ooRexx users are willing to step up to 
the plate or they are not. I hope they are willing but from past 
performance (or lack thereof) I do not really expect that to happen.
