Yes most definitely we need to agree on a license. Honestly I don't 
know much about open source licenses, GPL, LGPL, and all the others, I 
will have to do some research on the topic. What are your 
recommendations? And I don't think there is a way to restrict access to 
the cvs, once it's there, it's for everyone.

Yes renaming stuff on cvs can be a problem. The reason of the B for the 
server handlers is that I was going to change everything with a B in 
front of it. Much like the Be API classes, but I never did it. So I 
ended up with two standards for class naming. We should decide which 
one to follow, BMsnClassName or MSNClassName, or leave it as is.

I will say for now to post their feedback in the forums. Let's wait 
until we are a little more organized on the source, the cvs server, 
license, and everything else. How about you, what do you think?
