On behalf of no one but myself, thank you for being as gracious as you have been over the last few days. I have the upmost respect for Autodesk and really do appreciate the spirit behind what you are trying to do.
I, for one, hope to see a very productive and open discussion on the formation of a foundation and naming structure. Despite occasional strong words, healthy debate really is what makes democratic systems work.
Please don't interpret a two day email storm as a lack of appreciation or respect for your efforts. Autodesk's overture is in many ways a catalyst for many tough decisions that have been facing the Mapserver community for some time now.
