Show safe died because everyone wanted it to work, but no-one wanted to do the work.
It was a classic example of Austraians not wanting to associate - have you ever noticed how few successful associations there are in Australia? Compared to the Americans who will form an association if two or more people like bananas, it would seem that Aussies (in general) are not interested in giving up their time.
There was a massive ground-swell of support to start the association after it was suggested during an ENTECH Trade Show, but when it came time to actually spend time preparing submissions, running the association, etc, the whole job fell to a handful of time-poor people.
These people could not keep up the time commitment and keep their jobs.
Show safe was shelved (it has not yet been killed). It may get revisited if the pieces fall into place.
