Re: Code donations for RPGUI initiative

["Dean, Robert" <rdean@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think EGL is a strong concept.  My biggest problem
with it is that IBM's fumbled the rollout.  There have
been PR gaffes from an RPGers perspective: the 
positioning of EGL as an RPG+COBOL replacement,
and the fact that EGL generates COBOL instead of 
RPG (even though that's really a red herring).  The
EGL CE release wasn't accompanied by some high
profile demos (ala those that launched RoR into the
limelight).

Yes, I saw the trend.

Then I entered the keyword "failure".  There's a strong correlation.

Sorry, I couldn't resist ;-)
