Hello Roy!
It is great that you are showing this kind of enthusiasm and that you
are working with this issue. The work you have done so far with setting
the requirements and recruiting persons for this and getting them on the
same track is very valuable, a prerequisite for this.

> The consensus among the AndroMDA developers I contacted was that is
was

model

> Not only do AndroMDA developers need it for their development of

used

AndroMDA

appears

implementation

open

commercial

plug-in
