Re: [Modeling-users] A little roadmap

[Mario R. <ma...@ru...>]

Hello Sebastien,

may 2004 be a happy and healthy year for you, as well as
for all of us!

Thanks for this little summary. I do not think you have forgotten
anything, in any case this is already a lot ;(
The prioritization of the items is perfectly fine, also,

When does it end ;-?

Oh, btw, my rantings before xmas about custom types were
mostly about me not thinking clearly... after taking a break
and coming back to it, it all seems very clear and logical!

Thanks again, mario
