Good. However, since I wrote this I'm sure anyone who read Glass elevator
will have seen the post.
Maybe Jean can answer this, but that post, together with teh manner it's
written and so on, leads me to believe that we may as well not bother doing
anything more. The task ahead, writing a net stack, is a big one and
distractions like a parallel project will just make the job harder still.
We all have good intentions but we also all have other things we do. Unless
we keep up the momentum on this it'll never get anywhere. Having another
project doing basically the same things alongside will just take energy away
from the other. I for one don't want to get into a situation where I feel
I'm "racing" or in competition with another group within the same
organisation.
I'll commit the stuff I have and then probably stop bothering while the dust
settles.
