There has been some more traffic on that particular network that seems to point to yT not being in a position to have people working on BONE. It now looks as though they may not even have the pieces of paper to grant them the code, so while speculation may be premature, the decision seems [...]

So apparently the OpenBeOS documentation team have been “quietly” converting the beBook into xml. So, why are they doing it quietly? Now they apparently feel that all the work that I’ve been doing under the auspices of BeClan should be given to them! I’ll restrict my language at this point
