That sounds no less than solving the essential difficulty of component-oriented software engineering--GO FOR IT! But I agree with others on this list that a volunteer basis only will not get us there. Some hard commitment i.e. money is necessary. And some kind of executive/business plan is necessary to gather this kind of support. Note I'm not against the current technical work on the Registry. This and other technical elements are necessary for *any* plan. I also feel the lack of a work plan. A marketeer's challenge: a shorter term for "solving the essential difficulty of component-oriented software engineering." Tip: "component-oriented programming" = "mega-programming". --=-Q5Q2mLPtHXm6cNreIbeL--
