Re: Standard Library Interest?

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

Well, we've had a variety of all volunteer efforts aimed at developing 
something that had some community acceptance that would eventually get 
the vendors on board. As I've observed, despite these efforts, we don't 
have a library. That's why I remain skeptical of another effort to get a 
bunch of guys together and develop another library on speculation with 
no indication from the vendors or the ARG or anybody else in a position 
to impose a standard that they'd even be remotely interested. If the 
answer is "No" from the start, I don't want to waste my time.

I applaud anyone who wants to develop a library. I'm suggesting that if 
the people in a position to actually make such a library into a 
"standard" were interested, it would get a lot further.
