[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

First of all, this mail is my opinion not the opinion of the other admins!
(just thought I'd better mention that :)

I really apreciate the offer, but the offer has been made a few more times
in the last couple of months. The problem is that alot of people get onto
this project with big ideas and thoughts, but they usually leave without
actually having contributed a single thing (no names mentioned ;)

At this point I think sourceforge is a very cool place to have this project
hosted, it offers ALOT and anyone can join in and get access to every
thing..

RE: [Dynapi-Dev] Admin -reply

[Kevin F. <kfr...@id...>]

Not a problem Pascal, I understand completely:)  But big ideas had little to
do with it. It's just that I had developed a dynamic corporate extranet last
year that could have been adapted.  Afterall, there has been a lot of
activity but little is reflected on the SF site.  I think coming to terms
with the breath of the development (and the gaps inbetween) may confuse many
people.  Hopefully, the CVS will cure this but it would be disappointing if
many were dropped out of the loop because the activity there is not
reflected more publicly (if you are not on the mailing lists, you are out of
the loop).

NunoF comment yesterday on the 'helplist' is sound.  But how to do this
effectively in a mixed skill level group context?  That was the main thrust
of my first and this lengthy comment. I'll stay tuned :o).

	Could you describe which ones?

  CVS is disabled.

	Bug list? It's simpler to post them here.
	Ideas?  Is there any admin , who collects ideas ?
 Not implement , but just collect any ideas and post them tho some
 page (like TODO , or better - "Whish List" - not all of ideas are so
 interesting to be implementing , but they are very interesting for
 history :)))

	Also  - there need to be documentation page.
 There was URL to Class/Prototype description...  It already lost in
 mail-archive.  Better to keep it separated on page.

	So who could do this?

	Also there was the question about spliting DynAPI.
 (sorry have not read all messages yet) Is there any movement in this
 side? (I could make tests on NN4.7 unix/win, mozilla/unix).

	Archives. I have seen lots of links to own pages.
 And no use of Sourceforge :)
	(could the command be implemented - something like:

  !get soft URL
  !get doc URL
  !add URL

	So robot could check for it (from admins) here in mail list 
 and automatically get all files (it is faster than to go to web ;)
