[comp.windows.news] User support for NeWS/Openwindows

korp@TRIPOLI.EES.ANL.GOV (02/17/90)

At some point in time about a year ago a group called Open Vistas was
formed to promote NeWS and help developers develop applications under NeWWS.S.
After three conversations with the people in charge of Open Vistas I still
have not received any information about the group etc... Is this group
gone? If they still exist they need some help. I am willing to sponsor
the creation of a new group or the rebirth of Open Vistas. NeWS has for
too long been ignored, and will fade away into oblivion if nothing is done
to promote it. We can't leave it up to Sun. Other workstation manufacturers
need to be convinced that porting the merged server to their platform is
a good thing to do. I welcome all replys and comments and will keep the
net posted as to the progress of the above work.
