Zack, you've said over and over again that you aren't directing or leading this group, but i have to say that the above makes me pretty uncomfortable. You have just made a promise on behalf of our group without approval or commitment from anybody who has actually agreed to do the work (as far as i know). Please try not to do that. I mean, it's fine if you plan to do the work yourself, and your actual promise is "I will personally develop whatever is necessary to add on to this project to serve your needs". But this looked different to me. I'm sorry if i'm overreacting or misinterpreting. Dean Defense Forces is serving an important need, and i do want to give them support. I'm just trying to urge caution. It's extremely important that we avoid making promises we can't keep, and we are pretty strapped for development resources right now. Let's focus on what we need to get done and get it done before we make more commitments. -- ?!ng
