The community should not be interpreted as a port or a fork or a new project. IMHO, it should be just that, a community: with both corporate and volunteer portions working as one. Sure the code's GPL'd, and the CVS is public, but the goal is to work together efficiently, not split up. Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.
