What you've read so far is very incomplete, so I would adopt a "wait for further announcements" attitude with regard to the whole 86open thing for now. The only announcement made so far hasn't even really named all of the players, something that I was worried would result in misunderstandings and which seems, in some cases at least, to have done just that, so I really do urge everyone to just give the effort a bit more time to get itself organized. More data will be forthcoming about the goals and chosen methods of the 86open effort, but until then I urge folks not to pester those involved for more details because, in many cases, even we're not sure yet. :) Jordan
