Did you get a response from anyone else or is it just the two of us?

Hi Dan,
This is excellent news. Your server, my server, doesn't matter. If
on mine, I can easily set up a password protected forum. Yahoo
groups don't have my favor either. We can discuss of the
particulars in private.
But I should clarify this. Why password protected? My situation has
changed. I have decided to take 6 months off my normal employment
(academic) to develop a few projects that I don't have time to
develop properly when on a full time job. Open Source development
is cool. But quality applications can only be developed when
working full time on the projects, at least for the design/pilot/
putting everything together stage. Some applications that meet the
specific needs of the academic community never get developed
because academic don't have the time and focus to develop fully
fledge applications. I had these ideas about 5 years ago, wrote a
few utilities for my own use, but never had the opportunity to
transform them into tools useful to my community. I am doing it now.
I don't intend to make money from selling these libraries but from
selling small but very useful tools to a rather large market
(educators, academics, in a $5-$10 the unit model). Until I am
ready to distribute these, I prefer to keep my competitive
advantage (I start to use buzz word as I am following an
entrepreneurship course :) ). All libraries will probably be made
available open source once I start getting money to pay back the
development costs (no guaranteed salary for 6 months). I am very
receptive to the idea of ransomware too (keep it close till you get
the development costs back).

I'd be up for that, Marielle. I can set up and host a group on one
of my servers if you like or we can go the Yahoo groups route
which several other Rev-related groups have done but which I find
sort of moderately distasteful.
Can we create a working group? I am interested in collaboration
but not in making everything widely available right now.
