QuakeWorld Info
As first posted by Tikkabik (Looks like I missed this one), MacSoft's Online Spokesman, Nate Birkholz, reccently posted this in a mac games newsgroup:

As far as QuakeWorld and future versions of Quake go, I believe Mark Adams has already stated that we have been discussing future updates with him. We certainly want to bring all the code up-to-date, and we are very intent on working out a deal for QuakeWorld ASAP. Until now, id has been very busy with Quake2. Obviously they would have to be involved with and approve anything having to do with QuakeWorld on the Mac. Nothing is definite, but we are hopeful. We understand that everyone has begun to get impatient, but please bear with us, as we have had many other products to finish lately and have not been able to afford to yank programmers to work on shareware. This is as much a business as it is a labor of love for us and we have to be realistic.
