As stated, we do not have the resources to work on a new UI library and an 
IDE in parallel (the IDE is currently progressing very nicely), and make 
both great.

I wrote this to the mailing list as a "wakeup call" for the others that 
were working together with us, so someone of them would take over the lead 
and make #WT a reality. It did the trick, because work is active once 
again. So join the mailing list, and help - testing the classes is much 
appreciated.
