People will not use it unless they can *really* trust a module. Simply expecting people to migrate to it because of the theoretical benefits isn't quite wise, until it has proven itself. The idea is to make it easier for people to have access to a module, use it and test it. More exposure means more feedback and more bug-fixes (hopefully :) ). But simply "being there" isn't enough to expect world-wide usage, but "being there" is enough to hope that people have easier access to play around with it. -- ======================================================================= Jim Jagielski [|] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
