I started to mention this in my previous post but didn't: My modularity/extendability theory would predict that your most contributed-to project would be ada-mode. As for the ACT XML project, I wouldn't expect you to see many contributions from outside of your customer community, simply because the licensing terms are not usable for serious outside users. I'm not complaining (and certianly don't want to start that thread again), just pointing out that this is the choice you made. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
