I do think that the niche Forth community is a great match for the P2. You are the only chip I know of which comes with Forth p reloaded. And there are some really great speakers regularly there. Once a year Charles Moore sometimes still shows up. The Kestrel speaker tomorrow is a really really smart guy as are many of the others. In general 1/2 of the talks there are excellent. During the others, I browse the web. Don't tell them.

And your marketing manager is always welcome to speak there. Usually I say a few words about your chip.

I will point out that the Forth2020 group on Facebook where @"Peter Jakacki" moved to has over 1000 users. A great target market for the P2. Small, but there will be solid interest there.

    Well said, Christopher.
    I joined the Forth2020 group shortly after Peter, attracted by their esp32forth discussions. See here for glossary and other stuff
    Encouraged by what you say, I've applied to join the Svfig forum and will try and attend the meeting.
    I've successfuly adapted Mini-OOF by Bernd Paysan for esp32forth. I'm thinking of doing the same for Taqoz Reloaded, to experiment with object oriented forth. Mini-OOF is a tiny, very clever piece of code - see https://bernd-paysan.de/mini-oof.html I'll post anything useful on the P2 pages.

    @bob_g4bby
    I really look forward to seeing you there.
    With two of us talking up the P2, particularly if we do it regularly, we should be able to pull some more Forth developers in. Developers love company, discussions, and code sharing.

    I also posted about the meeting in Forth2020 on facebook.

    This is a good time to tell you that I made some edits to your beautiful document.
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/18xYTNLDq2bTbcepN93p9n0ytnncQ3dFioFkmdD6k2_8/edit#heading=h.4na2t6ic0aeb

    Are you able to review them, and approve some of them?

    If you show up 10 minutes early for the meeting, we can chat. If not, there is conversation time after the meeting. In particular I want to ask if Taqoz has a 16 bit address space (64Kb) (as mentioned in that document), or a 20bit address space. 1Mb. If only 16 bit, why is that?
