I think Eric's sentiment is more towards that those `hurdles' aren't actually hurdles at all and are misinterpretations that caused about 20 posts debating whether it was actually a hurdle. > On Mar 26, 2009, at 2:50 PM, andrey mirtchovski wrote: >> >> a straight cocoa drawterm rewrite > > On Mar 26, 2009, at 3:00 PM, Uriel wrote: >> >> A 9vx, p9p or inferno cocoa port is a project that seems fairly > > I can do one of these; which is the most needed/wanted?
