But say whatever you will, the biggest "holdup" in this case is giving developers time to writ tests, assuming they all agree to do so. I've been tracking progress of this thread, and posting general conclusions/decissions here: http://bsd.adept.org It seems there is certainly enough interest to continue this as a real "project". Although I think there are a couple things that makeup smaller "subprojects" on their own. Please take a lookt at the summary page. If you think any ideals should be added, let me know. Once we're all in agreement as to the general direction this should take, I'm happy to offer hosting, including accounts for any developers/contributors.
