General comments: The ideas sounded very good and quite comprehensive and I really did not have much to say. The only problem was how do we get people involved. Unfortunately, I have no good solutions for that. All the people I know already spend quite a bit of their spare time writing the various pieces of software. As regards links to useful software, I sent in a bunch of links to Fernando after the conference. I'm not sure what happened. Why not have a catch all links page with all the links locally sorted into simple categories. Its easier to do it that way rather than manage the links from different places. What do you think? cheers, prabhu
