I wasn't aware of the imminent closure of the w.o.p.. I find this puzzling. There seems to be a vague but all-pervading sense among our leaders that we are in some kind of hurry, lest we miss the boat. On the other hand, we are also being constantly reminded of how hard it is to 'sell' the SW to the practical world, the need for convincing examples, persuasive propaganda, the search for the Killer Ap, and so on; all of which suggests that we are if anything ahead of the curve rather than behind it. So what window is closing, what boat are we likely to miss, and why the hurry?
