I suppose the conspiracy at work here is the same flavor of conspiracy that dominates the development of the GCC compiler or the Linux kernel. One might look at these efforts and conclude that there is a conspiracy on Red Hat's part to control these software systems. It is true that Red Hat has conspired to create a vast organization with influence in many corners of the globe, however, I believe that a more suitable label for this "conspiracy" is "commercial success". A protracted discussion about why the most visibly successful implementer of the project's software holds "unfair" sway doesn't strike me as productive. If you want to change that, go back to building your business and hire more firepower than they have. All of us will benefit. As David Jones readily demonstrates, if you have new ideas you can always write new code. Moqui is a more powerful statement than anything you can say on a conference call. -- Ean Schuessler, CTO e...@brainfood.com 214-720-0700 x 315 Brainfood, Inc. http://www.brainfood.com
