Above are my letter I sent to Hardy Macia and his answer.
Would there be a developer that would be interested if Hardy Macia were to
release the source code of Aloha and to keep developing it, seems a total
waste to me.
In case he would refuse we could start a NewtonTalk mail petition, seems
that he owes quite a few users something since 2.7 isn't very old and wasn't
very cheap either.
