Call to Arms - SAVE PHEOBE & RISCOS!!!
Xigen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Following yesterdays announcement that Acorn are to completely abandon
the Phoebe and RiscOS development, 'postpone' Acorn World, and exit from
making desktop computers, users have got together and decided to work on a
scheme to continue RiscOS development, reorganise Acorn World at a later
date, and to produce Phoebe. To start the ball rolling, a mailing list
has been launched, to bring together people interested in working on this
project. If you would like to discuss what is happening, and what is being
done, and maybe help in the project, e-mail me at xi...@argonet.co.uk to
be included in the list.
A dedicated phone line has also been set up, so if you have any
queries you can phone or fax us on 0181 371 9754. A further announcement
on csaa will follow in a couple of days. Together, with your help and
enthusiasm, the Acorn Community can really change the situation.
If you are a developer and you have not been contacted by us by 5:00
tomorrow, please give us a ring or e-mail.
