You know, come to think of it, there is a project just starting that
Mneson might be perfect for. The AdaBIND project.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/adabind/
Maybe an opportunity to "join forces" and create a product has just
presented itself?

Maybe. I used to lurk some of the AdaBIND posts on this list, and I have
just checked the website. I strongly feel the lack of a high level
description of AdaBIND, including a rationale for rewriting BIND. BIND
seems a complicated domain on itself and with many complicated
implications. I myself know only 0.000001% of this domain. And nobody is
going to read 100 RFCs just to get an idea of what BIND is. I suspect
that even if they read the 100 RFCs they would still have no idea. So
what I will say next is based on my 0.000001% knowledge of BIND and
related issues. I suspect BIND is essentially what is commonly known as
DNS. And DNS is essentially a database of domain names and IP addresses,
and a lot of rules. So the role of Mneson would be to serve as the
database component for this. If this is not terribly off the mark, I may
be interested and join the AdaBIND list as a Mneson consultant, and
maybe as coeditor of the much wanted high level descriptions.

I think you are quite close to the mark, and the high-level
description you speak of is indeed badly wanted. Andrew and I have
started a document listing all the relevant RFCs[1]. I have already
started reading some of the high-level ones but I have not found the
time to write an executive summary yet.

BTW, I also know next to nothing of the domain, but I'm willing to
learn :)
