And it wouldn't have to be a core dev that implements it -- anyone with the C chops (not me :-) ) could do it. As an example, a good chunk of PEP 485 was implemented by someone else (I wrote the first prototype, but it was not complete), who I'm pretty sure is not a core dev. A core dev has to actually merge it, of course, and that is a bottleneck, but not a show stopper. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
