Anyhow, this has to be fixed. The Opentalk team had been stuck doing unimportant stuff like Web Services, a ton of crypto, SNMP to name a few but enough is enough. The fix should not be that hard and its something that is best that they do. So if you think that this is important i.e. OT surviving past a NAT then please let the product manager for Cincom Smalltalk know. Hint his first name is James and he is a very active blogger :)
Well, here's the thing - I don't think much of WS* myself, but our customers are asking for it. At the User's Conference in Frankfurt last year, we were told by over 70% of the audience that WS* was in use and of great importance to them. So.... you do what you have to do :/
