While I, too, can't speak FOR Microsoft, I am quite willing to speak WITH Microsoft. Particularly if the request was modestly scoped, and if doing so would sort the issue right from the start.
It looks like someone from Microsoft has shown up to discuss our issues with the OSP, patent grants, etc. Should we respond with a clear list as distilled from this very long and often emotional discussion, or should we wait until they come back with answers.
I think that it would help us to have a list of statements. Its clear to me that you might be the best person to make that list.
I propose a vote of consensus - Do we (A) present a list of questions as a reply to Sam Ramji's posting "ApachePOI Email", or (B) wait for Microsoft's answers as Sam Ramji promises?
If (A) becomes our choice, then I think we should reach a consensus about the list, one that is rather inclusive. I certainly think we should make sure to ask all of Andy's questions. I also am not sure that his are all the questions that need to be asked.
I am (A) +1. and (B) 0. Regards, Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
