It should be read by anyone who wishes to take part in the project or be a regular part of the newsgroup. Serial number 19990703.
Contributions are welcome.
The newsgroup was created for discussions about the project to create a free but completely compatible alternative to MicroSoft QuickBasic. Secondly, the project has now proceeded from the discussion stage to the initial coding phase, so the serious leading programmers are too busy to post a lot, and a lot of the others who are interested in the project don't feel that they have anything to offer at the moment if they don't know about compiler programming. This is probably nothing to worry about. No one has announced a discontinued interest in the idea of the project as such. If anything, there are separate groups working toward different related projects.
