Hi,

The number of members is shown, donno if it would be usefull to display 
another number there as well....

>2 - What font engine will be used?

Last I heard, things were pointing towards FreeType, which IMHO is a 
perfect choice :)

>3 - Why isn't there any documents regarding unit testing (we
>    ought to - right?) (I found some info in the app_server 
>    department though...)

In the new build system (to be released start of next week) unit 
testing as described by the app_server team has been integrated. Feel 
free to take a look at cppunit and write some tests, the code will be 
easily integrated into the build sys.

>4 - Do we at all have a timeframe?

Different teams have different timeframes :) Seriously, things should 
start to get more "open" soon (as in project plans, timeframes, etc).

>5 - What about all the applications developed by Be?
>    Can we redistribue them, or do we need to develop them too?

We cannot distribute them I guess, but users can download and use them 
:) Standard PE apps should be working fine. Also, lots of these 
applications could be replaced with improved versions which are already 
available from BeBits & co.

>    (especially BeIDE!)

For R1, I guess we'll stick to Be's BeIDE :)
