Phil,
I have to say that I am not very satisfied with this non-conciliatory email.
You did not respond to two of the big things that people have been talking
about in this thread:
1. When version 6 coming out
2. Your past lack of communication with us
1. So, when is version 6 coming out? We now have a better idea as
to what was involved with your original vague reference to "legal issues"
a long time ago, which helps (and would have been very helpful originally),
but we still no idea as to when we can expect version 6. Will it be coming
out in a month, 3 months, 6 months, a year? Can you give us any idea?
In other words, communicate with us.
2. You said that you have been on vacation, which is presumably your
reason for this most recent lack of communication. Fine. However, this
does not explain the past lack of communication. There were some very
strong feelings expressed on this topic. One of the members asked for
an apology. Many members said that there have been negative results
from your lack of communication. Are you willing to respond to this in
any way? As it stands, the minimal communication pattern is continuing.
I was very disappointed with the tone of your email. Please remember that
we are your developers and customers. We are not your enemies. We have
just been asking that you work with us.
Regards,
Stefan

Contrary to the rumours started on the list version 6 is on the way
and is not dead. The hold up is all legal issues and related to
locating and isolating 3rd part code that has been used in the server
under license and replacing it with open API calls so we can go open
source. This is taking a lot longer than we thought.
We understand that some developers have out grown the platform and
have moved on to other platforms, that is their prerogative. We have
plans to keep supporting Witango while there are people out there
wanting to use it. To this end, can I ask that the you take up
Robert's offer and move the porting to PHP discussion to his forum -
http://devcom.bighead.net/ .
And yes we do have a lot of holidays down here minimum of 30 days
leave a year which is 4 weeks statutory leave plus New Years Day,
Australia Day, Anzac Day, Easter Friday and Monday, Queen's Birthday,
Labour Day, Melbourne Cup Day, Christmas and Boxing Day, etc. Keeps
us a happy and family oriented business.
The Witango portion of our business is running above expectations
albeit a little behind schedule. Apart from that we are just moving
ahead at a steady pace.
If you have any specific issues or questions contact me off list.
Regards
Phil
