Sure; I don't even know if Stephan wants to tackle this now - I just
wanted to point out that I wasn't too fond of your attitude in this
regard. And about the watchful eye: yes, that's the spirit that makes
good code! Having a second pair of eyes over the code is incredibly
useful :-)

I think I see your point.

That depends on the amount of preparation and planning I invested in
2). If I'd thought there was quite a bit of it, and another developer
wanted to work on 2), I would try to convince him that it would be
substantial more work for him than for me.
Otherwise, I would start working on 3) :-)

The way you understood this, you can indeed be very surprised. I meant
that strictly restricted to the matter (not wanting to give away a task
although it might be a good decision to do so).
In general, I consider you and your comments very helpful. Please,
don't get me wrong here.

I've added some ToDo items, and also the recent problems found in
BLooper/BWindow, etc. For example, you will get plenty of
B_MESSAGE_NOT_UNDERSTOOD messages, which is not the case in BeOS (and I
just recently fixed an endless loop regarding those).
Bye,
Axel.
