For the moment, we are focusing on different issues (e.g. standardising I/O, enumerations, module names, etc), in an effort to obtain a base relatively fast, something which could be tested both with existing code and new applications. It is our hope that this will yield enough interest for people to comment and discuss policies regarding exceptions, labels, etc. Cheers, David On Fri, 2008-12-19 at 11:00 +0000, Benedikt Grundmann wrote: > Somehow I forgot reply back when you posted this reply.
