It's been a week since we announced Prothon :)

I'm pleased to say that we've matured and the tabs/spaces flame wars are
behind us.  The weekly release this weekend should have the final version of
tab and space support with flexible number of spaces and auto continuation
that will make everyone happy (knock on wood).

We've moved on to more serious discussions relating to syntax issues for
instantiating prototypes and instances and the issue of method delegation in
the prototype world without classes.  We've had some good discussions that
are really starting to bear fruit.

My thread labelled "two items to consider for ratification" was a big bust.
I'm learning as I go here.  I think my next attempt will be a summary of the
suggestions for the creation syntax topic and a summary for the delegation
topic.  We'll see if that moderation technique works a little better.

I just want to thank everyone for helping out.  If everyone keeps this up I
think we may create something we can be really proud of.

P.S  Check out the new mission statement:  http://prothon.org/prothonway.htm
Comments are welcome.

P.P.S. Ben and I really need some help with coding.  A couple of people have
expressed interest but never started helping.  If you look at the code and
find it too cryptic to work on, please come to us and let us know.  We need
the feedback.  It REALLY is fun to work on.  I wouldn't be spending all my
time on it if it wasn't.
