This came up in an email I got based on yesterday's post, but I would like to air this publicly - we don't intend to fork Seaside off and make a proprietary version. Seaside itself is portable between Smalltalk dialects, and we intend to take advantage of that fact. As well - the persistence solution we have in mind is GLORP, which is also portable across Smalltalk dialects. So - we intend to actively work with the community of Seaside develeopers (most of whom work in Squeak) to push Seaside forward. Obviously, we believe that Cincom Smalltalk will be the best and most scalable place to use Seaside - but we intend to work with the community on this one.

Michael Lucas-Smith is taking the technical lead on this project, so if you work in Seaside now, and would like to get involved, get in touch with him. This isn't going to be a "go dark" project for Cincom.
