Based on Aleksey's past history of making good technical decisions, producing good implementations based on his designs, and his ability to work effectively with the existing community, I believe that what he produces will be a net gain for the Sugar/olpc ecosystem. As such, AC has given him the freedom to spend the next 6 months working on the server project. The technical decisions of how Aleksey solves the problem are separate from the business decisions of where Activity Central allocates its developer resources david _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
