What do you mean _IF_? You know dam well that IBM will do just that. If you can't see that happening on general@incubator, then you need to start reading that list, paying attention to what IBM is saying that they will do. jonathon - -- If Bing copied Google, there wouldn't be anything new worth requesting.
