The Future of FIG UK

The FIG UK web site and the accompanying magazine Forthwrite has been dormant for some time now for lack of volunteers.

I've established a forum and it is possible, given enough interest, that Forthwrite will return in a new form. That interests you, and there is some way in which you can help, please get in touch.
.
2017:  The forum is now defunct. The website address above is still valid  (for now) but please link instead to the mirror at the Forth Foundation Library

Jenny, I am wondering if I adapt your version of Many[ for my Nicl library project, what license would you be comfortable with?

I prefer to be writing these things under BSD or CDDL, and if you want something more restrictive, I guess I'd have to remember that it can be done and avoid copying and adapting.

The main adaptations are that for the Nicl words that will be using it, Nicl[] and Version[] ... they will insist on getting the [] before they hit the end of the line, with the escape on that that they toggle that behavior off on encountering a \ comment, and that it will take an xt on stack so that it is just the re-iterated words that appear between Nicl[] or Version[] and the trailing [].
