I'm -0. I think it is profitable to have the Collection libraries, as
you mentioned, and also nice to have 1.1 compatibility. However, I
don't like having to download a separate class when I already have the
classes, and then refer to the different locations of the duplicates (in
a 1.2 case).
However, I don't have [at the moment] any better ideas, so I don't want
to stop progress. If I come up with anything, I'll certainly let you
know.
Also, I think you should put together a propsoal for the scheduler
service (and I do think it should be a service) and post it to the list
before coding. This is a major initiative (one I meant to get to but
never have had time), and requires some careful thought. I for one
would like the ability to have the scheduler on a different machine,
communication via XML-RPC, and some other goodies. Although these all
don't have to be phase 1, they do have impact on the archtiecture you
use. Post a proprosal and let's all hash this out before getting too
deep into code. Cool?
Thanks for getting started on this!
