The Second Law of Thermodynamics In any closed system, there will be a tendency towards increasing entropy. Only in an open system, with energy being input, can there be an intrease in order. I'm now going to tell you what to do to "save" the QL scene. I'm not going to tell you how to do it, though I certainly have some ideas. The QL is withering. Those few who are left do not have the resources, or the inclination, to invest energy in it. I can think of maybe ten people who are actively giving energy to the QL scene. Not for profit. Not for personal gain. Because they love it. Tony. Nasta. Peter. Thierry. Others whodeserve to have their name here, but who I haven't talked with much yet. We all have our own ideas about how to move things forward, and that's great, but it's all small things. These small things are big things to their creators and the people who want the feature, but they're small things in the grand scheme of things. The energy that has to be invested to accomplish even a modest task is astronomical. The gratitude generally lacking. (Have I told you how grateful I am to you all for your work over the last 18 years?) Things have to change. Information has to be shared. It has to get EASIER to develop for the QL. Information is hard to come by? Too hard! Those ten people I mentioned earlier have many of the answers, and the knowledge was hard won. It takes a lot of effort and energy. This list is the best exchange of information I have seen. </rant> Sorry, just feeling a bit frustrated. Dave
