> Hi, my name is Rob Kudla.  I've been providing hosting for the Gambas

> The Gambas wiki is currently running on a pre-2.0 release of Gambas,

> newer to compile.  Benoit has been hamstrung by this limitation for a
> couple of years now.  My company has had a new server ready to be put
> online with a new local colocation provider for several years, but said
