Just to be clear, it's not a matter of some "official" SDG policy to
support or not support Mac users.  It's simply a matter of time and
resources, the SDG simply does not have the money or staff to do a Mac
port.

Swarm is currently a voluntary community effort (the SDG co-ordinates
funding where it can, but currently has no staff), Marcus' (and
other's) time on this list is provided purely voluntarily.

If folks want to help out doing a port, in particular, would be
willing to step up to the plate to be the "co-ordinator" of the Mac
port - please do so.  The SDG could do what it could in terms of
setting up a mailing list if it was deemed necessary, but somebody
volunteering to be the "Mac port co-ordinator" could certainly help
speed the process!
