By experience, the community does not give flak or pass blame around. In my
view the gold star is for the community.

Just write about it, and indicate in parenthesis things that you want to be
added but are not familiar with. If I know about it, I'll write about it or
if not, somebody else will.

By the way, have you downloaded the 10mb references of Interbase?

What ever we do, we should be careful NOT to copy anything from this,
otherwise, all our efforts will go to waste since the community won't be
able to freely use it.

Thanks for you help. Let's get going.

Have a great day.
