In the long run, I agree I'd like to get rid of the old MSN-t, but what about migration? Will, when MSN7 is no longer supported, you be able to easily migrate users from MSN-t to MSN-tng? I can imagine there are thing higher on your priority list if you want to make the deadline. If this won't be possible before the deadline, will it become possible afterwards? -- Tijl Houtbeckers, Nijmegen Femke for president!! ;) _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
