Hugi,
That’s bad news, but it’s exactly what we expected, in a certain way. The silence and lack of updates for such a long time were telling us the truth, although we wouldn’t accept it — there had to be a final word, straight from the horse’s mouth! I guess we have it now. So, they say WO is dead. We say “long live, WO!" We should move on to the next step: nagging Apple to release WO/EOF as open source software! ;-) Cheers, Flavio > On 03/05/2016, at 12:19, Hugi Thordarson <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all. > > We probably all know that WO's been practically dead to Apple for a long > time, but unfortunately Apple has refused to state so officially (at least I > don't recall there being an official statement). > > Anyhow… In the past years I've regularly sent letters to Tim Cook, asking > about the state of WO (being the naggy guy I am) and recently, I was > contacted by Apple executive relations regarding my questions.
