Work toward something concrete to propose. If you have "signs" to put near this sandbox I will be really happy to read them. I preferred to avoid discussing the technical thing too much on the list because I had no idea of what I would have done there.
I believe that proposals thrashed out in the sandbox area are good, and can go places where we wouldn't want James to go, they can ask more questions than they answer. But... this project does still exist through the mailing lists, and experiments in the sandbox don't really mean much unless they at least start or end in discussions on the list. I'm 100% in favour of people demonstrating and experimenting in the sandbox, but please remember that the purpose is to illustrate or provoke discussions on the list. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
