John, This project is a great idea. First, it is something that many people need (even if they are not aware of it). Secondly, it addresses LabVIEW licensing issues, which are a hot button right now. To get started, please draft a document that describes: (1) the problem which this project aims to address (2) goals and scope of the project (3) use cases for the software (4) requirements for the software (5) one or more proposed designs and the benefits of the designs with respect to other possible design choices. Don't worry about leaving certain things out of the document. You can simply leave place-holders in the document for content that will be added later. This document will form the basis for others to contribute ideas, and enable us all to have a shared understanding of the problem and an agreed upon solution. I will create a CVS module (a new project in our networked source Code control system) where we can share our project files. Please sign up for an account on SourceForge.net so that I can give you access to the repository. I will do this tonight. In the next week, or so, we will be going live with a new discussion forum at OpenG.org, which will make collaborative discussions a whole lot easier. Once we go live, we can create discussion threads dedicated to this project, and really begin to has out our ideas. Also, please identify and make a list of other project team members so that we can come up with a communication plan and keep everyone in the loop. Personally, I know that there are many companies who would be eager and willing to participate in this project. Let's try to coordinate and get as many people involved as possible.
