Re: Phoenix language

[Gregory Casamento]

Guys,

I would like very much to have your help on this effort.   Anyone is
welcome to become a part of it.  I will add it to the GNUstep repo as

now is consider the advice that David gave earlier and see if I can
improve on what I currently have.

I apologize if my tone has seemed somewhat defensive up until now.
