Well, I could commit to paper but I’m afraid that the paper might turn into
rubber at my present state of affairs (grin).

You better not run for the same window as me. We ain’t gonna fit at the
same time (not sure if I’ll fit by myself ).

The OS9 users group BOD – or at least members of it, have told me that
they see no reason for such a group to be formed at this time. However – IF I
FOUND ONE AND IT TURNS OUT OK, the UG would consider accepting it as an organ
of the Users group later. When I was less than accepting of this proposal,
well, it seems to
have upset yet another member of the BOD. So, I’m asking the members of the
OS9 community to look at this situation, and tell me if they would accept such
a proposal – that one person or group should do the work of setting up a
organization to benefit al
l, then turn it over to the group that SHOULD be helping to get the job done in
the first place after they put no effort into it. Frankly, I see no
improvement in this group. They tell me – ‘give us time, give us a chance
‘ but I’ve offered this group a chance to start an activity that many of the
small developers tell me they see as a boon to all and offer to donate my time
in a cooperative venture, and get told to do it myself and give it to them
later? Am I missing so
mething here?? What do you think??

David,

So what’s the word? You know I was initially apprehensive about the
standards idea, but now that you’ve convinced me that it could be a good
thing, I want to make sure I’m involved so that things don’t go (what I
would consider) astray. But I haven’t heard anything in awhile now. Problems?
Lack of cooperation? Now who would be putting the brakes on such a potentially
important idea? Certainly not you I would think.

So what’s up?
