I would really like to start a petition, but there are some obstacles where
I don't know how to move around: address the petition to whom?
steve.jobbs@apple.com? Was cool if he would read e-mails sent to this
address, but I don't believe he does...
2nd Problem: how to organize? I mean, we had to bring arguments, e.g.
someone who would suppose to maintain that stuff or to help at least. I
can't do that becaus I'm not able to programm in C nor Objective C (I can,
but to worse to do that :(
And then there is a 3th problem out there for sure, but I don't know yet
what it is =) (know murphy's law? that's what I mean)

What I could do:
I could put together an HTML-Site where one could sign and wich would
collect all signs and then send them to an address (but then -> problem nr.
1)

So are there people out to eliminate those problems?
I was hardly interested in such an API and I believe many others who don't
know about that were also interested if they knew...
