Hi All,

I have applied to join the Preferences team this weekend, and just to 
brush up on my Be and C++ Programming skills, I decided to take a chance 
that no one was already doing it and re-write the Keyboard preference 
panel.

I have nearly finished it, and I have copied the BeOS one exactly, but 
it made me wonder are other people being as "religious" as me?

Are other people putting their names/pet company logo's in OpenBeOS 
software???
Are other people changing a few things here and there, to add a blue 
slider instead of a grey one???

If people are doing this it won't take long before we have an OS that is 
like a garage sale (Hmmm reminds me of Linux :) )

I personally think that individual peices of software should not be 
creditited to the author other than in the "About OpenBeOS" menu and on 
the web site, this should keep it as tidy as possible, but I understand 
that others may have a different point of view.

Are there any programming or GUI or programming standards that the 
OpenBeOS team are sticking to?

Should there be a person who is assigned to this?

Thanks
