I think Henry has done a good job putting together a worthy proposal. What is needed now is critical mass. What I want to avoid is the PMC creating a subproject ... and being asked to destroy it in 12 months time due to inactivity. I don't want us to stall or anything, just have some reasonable confidence level. :-) Daniel -- Daniel Quinlan http://www.pathname.com/~quinlan/
