And before anyone feels slighted by the student for this being the first you've heard of it, blame me. The ida kinda came up Thanks Darren for reminding me that I was supposed to send an email to this list. For those of you who can't view the proposal, it comes down to improving tests and unifying the API, possibly by re-writing large chunks, possibly just by re-factoring. If the project does get funded, or if we decide to go ahead with it anyway, we will solicit more explicit feedback from this list first. -ash ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
