I would certainly agree that we can do more. That's obvious. But I also see a lot of progress around here as well. I'm just trying to remind everyone that people /are/ participating and we /are/ making progress. I also think it's better to build on what has already been done rather than tearing each other down. Let's cut ourselves some slack from time to time. :) I think a lot of these issues will be better resolved at the Summit when people have a change to meet face-to-face. I'm sorry I'm going to miss that. Oh, well, next time ... Jim -- Jim Grisanzio http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris
