I think 9 months may be a bit overstating the case; I'm not sure who made the update to the timeline on that page or when they did it, but as someone who's been watching the Applixware porting project rather directly, I can say that 9 months is hopefully the very longest it could possibly take, not the time we're actually hoping for. The port was stalled for quite some time on other issues which have since been rectified and I hope to see things moving quite a bit more quickly now. Applixware is quite *keen* to see this selling and interest in the product has been quite high - the number of pre-orders we've gotten has hardly been for nothing, it sent a very clear message to both Applix and WC that this project needed to be a priority and this is a large reason why the blocking factors we were dealing with from the beginning of the applixware port finally got dealt with at all. Don't lose heart yet, by any means. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
