Could've fooled me.  :)  It made news on other Be sites.

Hmm...

"Documents and Guidelines 

"- Getting Started   (not written)"

I've never used jam before and have no Internet access under BeOS.  
My first and last use of WinCVS was unsuccessful (for a different 
project).  I'm not sure I have time to figure it all out myself (
otherwise I'd probably be running Linux too)--is there a step-by-step 
guide out there somewhere for newbies like me and the guy complaining 
in the suggestion box?

Oh, so when it comes to distributing R1, it will be up to the distro 
companies to choose an OT brand?  I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks again,
