No Wolfgang, I suggested Source forge due to the many tools available. CVS etc. and not to suggest total anarchy! I do agree in any case that for an OS a "tighter" control should be implemented. Don't forget that the project manager in any case is the one that handles the CVS tree and regulates submissions. On top of that I don't believe that the core of the OS should be changed. What should be changed (and normalised) is the way drivers are written etc... I think that the Open SMS project should begin, by going through the sources and completely documenting them first and then start doing changes to bring all the versions on all the machines to the same level. Additionally a fully documented source would be: 1. An Invaluable tool for all programmers 2. A good reference point to start if we are to step up SMS to a different platform (yeah yeah I know... don't shoot!) That's all for now, Phoebus
