Maybe... but I don't think this is the case. Right now authoring blackbox is closed (true, we can produce patches, and we have complete access to CVS, but if an addition is made by someone outside of The Blackbox Authors group, and something is changed in BB that breaks that patch, then the patch author has to re-write it). This may end up being the case for all time... however I hold hope that the bblib separation will give patchers great freedoms over the control of blackbox. It's very obvious that the authors are working with the users... of course, they are only taking suggestions, and implement the ones that they feel suit them, the project, or the users best. This governing body is not unlike the one used for Kernel devel (Linus pretty much has the last say for what goes in and what comes out) and I can live with it. :) DC -- Derek Cunningham [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Human beings act intelligently only after they have exhausted the alternatives" -- Abba Eban Registered Linux User Number 195825
