Ah ha! So you ARE still reading the list! :-) Good to see you around!

LOL

That is good to hear and not surprising considering that some of them are ex-WO people.
> Cayenne is still missing a lot of functionality when compared to EOF/Wonder and generally feels less mature (understandably, since EOF is ancient). This is perhaps not such a huge problem, since functionality can always be added—but there is indeed a *lot* of work to be done to reach feature parity with EOF.

In a perfect world (that's the world where I have endless time and money) I'd do a clean room implementation of EOF and live happily ever after. But this is indeed not a perfect world, so helping making Cayenne better and more integrated with WO seems like a more realistic goal (besides, it allows more resources to be spent on a re-implementation of WO; something I'd love to participate in).
