I'm on a very tight schedule with my book work at the moment, but I should be able to find at least some time this weekend, probably not before then though. However, before I do that... Are you saying that it would be OK, at least from your perspective, to break out Action1 as far as the site organization goes, even if it isn't an officially recognized sub-project from a management prespective? I almost wonder if that might be worse... To clarify my concern... your right, part of it is simply finding information, and that's really pretty easy to solve, as you say, just some web site mods should do it for the most part. My larger concern though, and why I was suggesting Action1 be officially a sub-project separate from Action2 and Shale, is so that it can take on a life of its own and continue to evolve separate from everything else (of course always sharing where possible!), and that it is clear to everyone that that is the plan... My understanding is that is already the intention and always has been, but making it its own project makes it, I think, much clearer. It also perhaps allows people to focus more in contributing. To be more concrete... on the web site, we have a Frameworks section, currently listing Action Framework and Shale Framework. What I would like to see is three: Action1 Framework, Action2 Framework and Shale. And sure, I'll volunteer to do that work, but I would question whether that should be done unless and until Action1 is its own official sub-project... might it be mixed signals before that time? > Don Frank --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
