Are there other people running BIG projects with gb3 24/7 yet?
With BIG I mean not just a project with lot of code lines, but a 
versatile project using all kinds of components together.
I'm trying to get my project (domotiga.nl) running and be stable on gb3, 
but it's not stable / usable enough yet, and a few month is too short to 
get it running the way gb2 does for years now.

I have reported 2 signal #11 bug reports (reproducable on 2 diff 
systems), which have to be solved before I can test my project further.
I know Benoit is busy with his hobby, so I'm patient, and I know he can 
fix bugs very fast.

But just don't put oil on the fire every time by telling 
developers/users that gb2 is gone in a few months.
Because if that's the case in the state it's in now, I'm afraid I must 
go find another language/IDE to port my project too.

Ron_2nd.
