Hi everybody, Teh temptation is great for me to answer to this question by : Isn't all that we want to have in common to start with ? If eachone is intimately answering -YES - for himself, then I think this MUST be proposed and acted upon by a group of talented people that I know of that exists inside this ML ... and want it to be done for the best or for the worst.
Someone already that "TO BE or NOT TO BE" is the question. Are we ... or not to have this done by us and for us. I already saw some private sites from people whi have very interesting povs and a lot of stuff done in this direction. If we could be kind enough to put all this in a new GLOBAL perspective, I relly think this project would succeed - as another one that is discussed very often since some time : The idea of frameworks. this could be the first step in this direction. Why not after all ? And I would be glad to alpha-beta-test it for you gentlemen. May be I will have some end-user (newbie style ;-))) suggestions to submit to this "elite" group. I would like so much to be able to be a guide and help develop such a project. Coding itself could be the work of some small talented ppl. but I think that many heads are necessary to give us a real "brainstorming". A first thinking draft could be submitted and opened for discussion here but right after some group will have to take the leadership, given a common mandate, they will act as agents for the rest of the ML - wow! this becomes to be like a dream for me... now this is enough! Some of you must have catched the way to go now...)
