I am not sure what the magic number is, but I believe we don't need =
masses of people to come up with a good design.  Sometimes the more =
people involved, the harder it can become to reach a design decision. =20

On the other hand, an extra person can pick up on requirements that have =
been missed by the rest of the group.

	Hey guys, looks like most people are trickling into
	the list at this point.  I've also gotten some more
	requests to get involved in the project, and am
	wondering at what point do we think we'll have too
	many people on board at such an early phase?  Do we
	have a magic number?  Any input here is appreciated.

	It appears that everyone is on board with the use case
	initiative which should be valuable to us as the
	project progresses.  Last night I uploaded the coding
	conventions (let me know if there are any issues) to
	the site page, and I'm hoping to get the use case
	writing guidelines up tonight.  This will be pretty
	concise since they should ot require a sickening level
	of detail to convey the necessary information.

	Once everyone has checked out the GotDotNet sample
	Matt mentioned, we can begin with the requirements.
	There are a number of issues to discuss, some off the
	top of my head are:
=09
	1. Security issues related to downloading assemblies
	2. Updating of RDBMS or other datastore
	3. GAC updates
	4. Extensibility for areas that will surely vary by
	application - like client authentication (based on
	licensing information, etc.) for updates.
	5. Update manifest security - e.g. no tampering of the
	manifest befor the client agent executes it
=09
	Looking forward to getting started.

	Thanks,
