I don't follow your entire message, I don't know about developers
"protecting code" issue and I suspect it was a "backstage's talk".
But as you wanted opnions I would like to say that I (and I don't know if
I'm speaking only for myself) don't know how to help. Avalon# for instance
should be a concrete implementation of a container, or should be the
framework from which someone will develop a Fortress#, Merlin.net, etc? 

My personal preference - a framework on which someone will develop a 
Fortress#, Merlin.net, ehatever.  But the bottom line is that its up to 
the developers that wrote and commit the code!

I
could claim for a document but I don't believe in this approach. Talking is
the most clever way of handle issues/doubts.
 

Yep.

As a personal opnion I think I - and a lot of silent readers - could help
more, but seems that not everyone would like contributions. To me should be
great to be part of a team that builds so powerfull projects and I'll be
proud for each line of code, or each design suggestion that I'd give.
I have basicaly no experience in C#' but there is an interest in 
Merlin.net based on Merlin 3.0.  In the short term I was thinking to 
myself about the avalon-sandbox/meta package in this context.  It's 
small, complete, and is a excelent candidate for a building block of a 
container framework.  It's basically a small set of imutable classes 
that describe a component to a container. I would be really interested 
in any feedback concerning the the package and any issues we may need to 
deal with in the delivery of a C# version. 

Cheers, Steve.

Subject: [RRT] Getting back to the basics (long)
 

RRT = Radical Random Thought

The body of this entire RRT includes my views on the subject, but that
   

does not
 

mean we all agree to it.  The bottom line is that as long as we have code
   

that
 

certain developers feel they need to protect from other developers we have
   

no
 

basis for cooperation.  One way to address this issue is to equalize the
   

playing
 

field and put everyone in the same boat.  Another way to address it is for
   

us
 

to put down our pride and learn to work with everyone here.  Nothing is
   

sacred.
