But, what Im interested in is seeing > if those out there listening are interested in having this done... I think this would be a good start. IMO It's not enough, though. It seems to me that the real issue is that we don't have an overall strategy for SMPng. We had the beginnings of one, but it changed, and currently what we're seeing is detail work rather than the implementation of an overall architecture. We need to discuss that, and IRC isn't the place. Bosko started something a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't get anything near enough response. If we want SMPng to be a success, we need to address that issue first.
