Well, I think we all have some requirements etc and we would all like to work together. Knowing some of that up front helps us at least find the things we can agree on. We'll never agree on everything. Too it helps us weed out things we may think we need but don't. Then we can better work together to actually come up with a better system and move the project forward without a total scratching of what we have. I'm just saying we have something now, so better to know what we are specifically referring before we start changing it, and better to know what some of our end goals are before we define an architecture. If we are going to work together that is. I think that is what the community really needs and wants, but that is me. Too, I'm not debating these things to argue or to make enemies. I want the project to be its best and is why I'm curious in the needs, wants, desires, and ideas as something concrete to get wrapped around. Wade
