I've wondered that too, especially as I have my own test framework that I think highly of. ;-) Anyway, do you want to get the ball rolling by creating the Gardeners Reports project page and starting the various lists of reports written, being written, and to be written? And maybe create an outline page for the test framework report. -Peter -- Peter Seibel * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gigamonkeys Consulting * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/ Practical Common Lisp * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
