1) The entry barrier shouldn't be too high, but the system behind should be flexible, extensible, customizable 2) The basic concept should make sense for a lot of people 3) You shouldn't be too dependent from one client, university etc for the initial funding (sharing and collaboration in the institutional, commercial world is still something very difficult to do. If worked in such institutions and there are so many hierarchical barriers and processes are extremly slow that it's very though to push forward a open source project with a big community) 4) and then you just need Paul ;) Best Roger --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/mixed text/plain (text body -- kept) application/ms-tnef --- -- http://cms-list.org/ more signal, less noise.
