I felt the same way, when I contributed to the UML2 transition, as you
know. But you came across like you wanted to do some experimental 
branch of the UML2 transition to see if (or how) you could do this
with those diagram modules. It seemed to me, that you were not
interested in contributions at that point.

I agree. I don't know if you were in the chat, when I mentioned, that
we should make a list with known problems and then try to come up
with solutions in a more systematical way. I already mentioned there,
that we could find and target developers, that might have the time
and the interest to contribute (i.e. approach university tutors etc).

I don't know how many active developers exist at the moment, and
where they are working.

I know. Sorry, I meant especially your module concept for the transition.

At this point, we wanted to target the latest official release 
(read: UML 1.4). Everything else is too far away to depend on...

At this point, we just want to create one (or maybe several) class
diagram(s) from a db model. We want to add MVC elements for RAD
tools. Just stereotyped classes. But the views should represent
(HTML) templates, so maybe we have to work on the source tab, or so...
We'll see later...

Ciao,
Andreas
