Feel free to ask questions or to give hints or to put your hands
directly in the branch. I'll feel free to stop you if I'll think our
efforts are not compatible and need more discussions.
The lack of information about the sandbox is due to a couple of causes:
1) Both I and Norman have not clear idea of what we do there: we are
experimenting and I still don't know what I will do the next time I'll
open the workspace to play some more hours on that code.
but that's a very good reason to post a little monologue :-)
sometimes, just sometimes experimental code sparks a connection with
someone who's just a lurker or who's searching for software which does
something similar before starting out on their own implementation.
innovation and creativity often results from such meetings.
2) James Server already have big important ongoing votes and proposal
that deserve much more attention and discussion than experimental code.
Some pmc member already declared he was unable to follow server-dev for
the last weeks, so I thought it was better to avoid to overflow people
buffers.
prefixing works very well elsewhere: just put [exp] (or whatever) in
the subject so people know to ignore that thread.
