If the different implementations offer different advantages, add more opportunities for users to contribute and use cocoon - then sure. Diversity is not something to avoid but something to embrace. -- Cheers, Peter Donald *------------------------------------------------* | You can't wake a person who is pretending | | to be asleep. -Navajo Proverb. | *------------------------------------------------* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
