Agreed. The champion needs to do a better job! I'll start a preliminary HOWTO, and run it by here shortly. In the interim, I would surly appreciate much chiming on this subject. For starters, how is the information structure of the existing individual reports? Is the comparison of features, and highlighting limitations of various libraries useful enough to constitute a good Report? Or should the reports dig deeper into each library and have something more substantive on each covered library? -- Peter K.
