Guys,
I'm working on getting a few things on objc2# rounded out so at
least its previewable. I'll post that for friday. People can review
over the weekend and we can schedule an open meeting to discuss the
future with everyones concerns next week sometime (wednesday-ish so
people have the weekend / begining of the week to collect thoughts /
feedbacks / etc).
I'll try to do it around 1-2pm EST so that its not too late for europe
and not too early for PST.
