Sorry last email was a bit confusing, did cut and paste in the wrong email. I try to reduce time on emails, and that sometimes reduces the quality of response: Please ignore the last email and read this one.

It could be an active developer or even someone outside the group who feels strongly about mail, schedule/planning and can herd cats.. Would be good to have someone who has managed distributed or open source projects in the past where developers are not always available. Any takers ? I think this is an extremely critical role and would help make us all more successful with James.

One problem is that this approach seems to require significant coding component in scripts. Scripts are not strongly typed and at least one level of checks are lost. It would be good to have some template based test capability. Preferably, tied into a standard too. For example it should be trivial to pick from RFC 821 section ------------------------- 3.2.
