Re: [Jargp-general] Creating new Def classes

[Dennis S. <dm...@so...>]

Hi Dave,

I noticed I hadn't responded to this on-list. I think the scope change 
is absolutely the correct thing to do. If you want to make the change 
just email me directly with your SourceForge account name and I'll add 
you as a developer so you can do this.

The DateDef and FileDef classes also sound interesting. I'd think any 
parameter type extensions that don't add too much additional code should 
be fine. I'd prefer to see the core library kept reasonably small just 
to make sure it doesn't become unwieldly.

Several other developers have expressed interest in extending Jargp. 
I've suggested they hold discussions on this list to arrive at a 
concensus, but so far I haven't seen anything going on.
