Can we start a "draft Cal" movement? Cal would definitely flip over

(Especially over who some of the people are - like JD and I- who are calling
for him. ;-) We did not have the smoothest of relations when he was around.)
But it's not really for us to tell Apple what to do. Either Chris, or just
about anyone on the AppleScript team, would be perfectly capable of doing
the same thing. But they seem awfully busy with their own work, so an
outside "trainer" like Cal might be no bad thing. The real crux is that no
one asked them early enough. All those OS 10.0 and 10.1 apps went out with
their lame AS implementations, and anything the Chrises and crickets can do
is after the fact. Perhaps we should take it as a good sign that the newest
apps, like Safari, have virtually no AppleScript at all (nothing except
'document' in Safari Suite). just a basic Cocoa framework in Standard Suite
and Text Suite. Maybe this means that instead of rushing out another botched
job for first release, they're planning to do it properly in a later
release? One can hope...
