Hi!

If we cant achieve an optimal solution, why not try (one of the) second best
solutions:

My idea of a second best solution would be that
-urge the community members not to reinvent weels (like building then-th
container library) in your projects, resuse exisiting libraries (a fairly
well know "best practice" for programmers)
-throw your semi-completed projects (those that you gave up because of lack
of time or interest) on the net (perhaps adaworld could provide a "junkyard"
or "dead code" - folder for such things) - giving others who come across the
same inspiration the possibility to continue (if possible :-)). Sourceforge
and similar
is not on my mind, I imagine something very much less "official".(How to
handle copyrights I dont know :-)
