Not to make too much of this but doesn't this rather defeat the purpose of having a community project if it splinters off like this in development stage? For the record, my application to the yahoo group was never replied to, whether this was failure of the request to make it to the group admin, or the request being ignored by the group admin I have no idea. Either way is a situation which I think is self defeating. In any case, I think it´s a bad precedent to have projects developed off radar by an "invite only" group. Graham
