About 25 base developers I see. Not that many, but enough to get the job done I'd say. Also good to see there are bits and pieces of useful code lying around. And if this idea was raised about 7 years ago we should be able to get something going by now. I saw a few other discussions started up and I will join them when I think I can contribute to them. I hope other base developers will do so too. Jasper
