I would hope Avalon people are *more* open than commons ;) Any project that
starts dictating "religious" requirements liks code formatting/structure
etc is bound to be more of a cathedral. A free for all where the only
forced "standard" is versioning and distribution scheme will see a much
better bazaar. SUre it may contain some crap but eventually the best would
bubble to the top.
Cheers,
