The reason is I remember when this thread came up before... It's difficult to go out and start doing something and dedicate alot of time when you are not absolutely sure that it will be accepted. A core sanction would also help in other areas... What is the decided platform? Perl, PHP, MySQL, Postgresql. What happens if I go out and do it in mod_perl and mysql, and then a core member says, "It should be done in php like site xyz". -John On Tue, 30 Mar 2004, Dan Langille wrote: > On 30 Mar 2004 at 18:43, Michal Pasternak wrote: > > > Kevin Golding [Tue, Mar 30, 2004 at 05:35:26PM +0100]: > > > Actually that logic extends to a problem which seems to hit *BSD in > > > general - OpenBSD.org is the only site which doesn't have "project" > > > emblazoned across the top of my browser. > > > > Hmm, so that's it?
