The future of UserLandMonday, March 26, 2007 by Dave Winer.
It seems to me that this is unfair to the users of the Manila, Radio and Frontier. I watch them ask questions on the mail list, and help each other, but what hope is there for the future? Will there ever be a new release of the products? I see small fixes come sporadically, but I don't know where they're coming from. So I wonder what the users think-- what kind of future should UserLand have? Do you think we should try to revive the company and products, or perhaps it would be better if we GPL'd the remaining software, and let the community try to take care of itself? (Note that I am in the community myself, I continue to use the products.) Post a comment here if you have some thoughts about this. Doc Searls pays for Radio. He says: "I have great appreciation for Lawrence's reliable and tireless help over the years." |
