Fair enough. But while coding may not be a sufficient condition, it would seem to be a necessary one. It seems to me that if done right, this plan can't hurt freenet, even if it isn't proven to help it. But then, I don't make the call (and there's good reason for that). I may be wrong, that may not be enough, etc. But anyway, it might get written and not added, but it certainly can't get added without being written. >And it's called Free software... Please. I'm not trying to make a political point, one way or another. Can we find a politics-neutral term? Actually, what's probably more to the point is that this is a collaborative project. ~mark _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
