The downside is that not every individual has the clue to match his or her enthusiasm. I don't see this as a problem. I would suggest that the primarily enthusiastic folks send patches to this list for comment. I think that the primarily clueful folks should, when pressed for time, limit themselves to commentary on those patches. In this way, the clue is disseminated and the primarily enthusiastic develop clue. It's an organic process, but one that I think will be very successful. It's already happening to some degree, in fact. Please don't take my comments as any kind of insult. I put myself squarely in the "mostly enthusiastic and only marginally clueful" category, so I'm certainly not "talking down" at anyone. Ciao, Sheldon.
