A copy..I do not agree with that..a site with similar focus, sure, run
with it.

The company can hire more people to aid in the resolution of time

I've a solution for the 'when is the first update out' question..it
involves sending two unmarked people with attached baseball (or cricket)
bats, one to WA, the other to UK to expedite the release so perhaps some
of us can get developing with a fully implemented API instead of having
to reinvent things that will be rewritten by TAO anyway. Up to date
documentation is always a helper also. :)
