I don't have membership in FIG (And with the hubub going on about problems inside FIG, I'm not sure I want to join in right at the moment); and, I'm quite sure that there are many more that aren't members either (The Dallas chapter, from what I understand, folded due to lack of interest more than anything else... And the nearest chapter is AUSTIN... If I have few reasons to join up, there must be more people that haven't joined too... :) Putting it in SIGForth would get better academic and professional coverage; and putting it in TCJ would get a very broad exposure of Forth and multitasking to the general embedded computing community (Another suggestion would be Doctor Dobbs- for the entire computing community...)
