Indeed. And so inexorably an email thread fades into the distance and nothing gets done because nobody with an opinion writes code, they just write emails. Your working on dxml is excellent proof of this. Once someone actually starts writing code things happen. It is after all how we ended up with Dub. Sonke et al. wrote code whilst everyone else just sounded off writing emails. Atila wrote code to solve his pain with Dub. I am happy to write code rather than emails, well once ACCU 2018 is over anyway. But I am not going to do anything of this sort purely on my own, it is too big, it needs people supporting as well as one (or preferably more) doing. To date no-one other than me seems to have shown any intention of writing code in support of the professed pain with Dub. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
