texte = Hi, I love WebDNA and have been very dishearten over the many years with the apparent lack of support for it from SM. This list and the folks on it (speakers and non-speakers alike) are the only ones I can trust to keep the dying flame of WebDNA alive (sadly losing battle). Count me in on option 1 as the first initiative and 2, if push comes to shove.

Presenting SM with a collective option to sell WebDNA (or even better, make open source). If we all have sufficient interest, it may be possible to get them to loosen their grip on their IP, or enter into some sort of JV. "If you don't ask, you don't get". OR; 2. Assembling a class action law suit against SM for fraudulently mis-representing their intentions with WebDNA to mislead customers (us) into thinking that our development platform had a future, thereby promoting sales of a product that they knew to be defunct. Any takers on either option?? I'll volunteer to head up either effort if I can be assured of some support - If no-one is keen, my war would be in vain if I won it just to be the last one on the planet using it.
