blog post draft
It's been quiet. Too quiet.
Interest in Parrot has waned over the past 18 months. The most recent flurry
of activity happened when Allison Randal brought up the fact that The Parrot
Foundation was in shambles and suggested shutting it down. This naturally
brought up the state of Parrot itself and what the future holds for it, if
anything. The situation is perhaps less than ideal. The short answer is that
Parrot's immediate prospects are iffy at best, but there is at least one niche
where Parrot still has a chance to shine.
