Following up on something Niall said elsewhere, the trick to open source is to concentrate on scratching your own itch. If there's a feature that *you* want implemented for *your* application, go ahead and implement it, and then try to share the wealth. Worst case, you've got a feature that you needed. Ditto for patches and fixes. Worse case, you've patched your copy of the framework so that it works better for you. Anytime anyone says something like "I don't want to do this work unless it's going to be accepted to the distribution", then the first thing I think is that this person is volunteering for the wrong reasons, and, if so, it would be better if they didn't volunteer to do the work. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
