Hi Greg,
I am happy to see that as I expected, I am not the only one who don't want
nanox to disapear.

Could you tell us a bit more about your ideas ? I think the list member
kind of agreed about this idea (since nobody said to stop :D). Maybe you
should ask some guys about nanox/win32 maintainer job, what do you think ?
I also think splitting nanox / win32 is a good idea since most of guy use
only one of the API. However since win32 and nanox share the same lower layer
code, I am a bit worrying about management of such part (for example drivers
are all shared by the 2 API right? ).

I'm really looking forward to starting again nanox development.
