Good architectural summaries would help here; I know David already has a lot of background reading planned before start-of-coding this summer. Can you provide pointers to design documents or email threads discussing any of these? I'm not familiar with Anders work; what is the current status of it? Why hasn't it been pushed into SVN yet? Is there a good summary of what it does so far and what remains to be done? Cheers, Tim
