Leading such a project would be better off in hands like someone as Terry. I unfortunately am stuck at a company who has resources, which I cannot abuse for non-company related matters. I could however help design it, write code for it and document it. My current `experience' lies primarily with GDK, glib, GTk+ and Gnome with some Qt experiments. I would be happy to donate my already sparse free time on such a project wherever possible. --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <http://www.freebsdzine.org>; asmodai(at)wxs.nl The idea does not replace the work...
