Hello, Very well. I have put up two warnings for this being off-topic, but I have noticed that some people have taken offense at my posting this on an apple-only mailing list. I will therefore not speak of it again, or perhaps one more time to share a link to a dedicated list for discussions regarding this proposal. Please understand that all I attempted to do was gauge the interest for this kind of project. I can see now that my attempt has been ill- received and has even been called 'completely inappropriate' by some. I will not be as childish as to mention any names or point any fingers here. If the moderators of this mailing list feel these messages should be removed, by all means go ahead. I will not bother this community again, after having maybe posted the above mentioned link.
Have a nice day everyone, Florian PS: To those who did think it was a good idea, know that I will not abandon it. I have had enough positive responses to make it worthwhile, but you won't find any news of it here.
