Hi David,

Yes, we definitely need to have some sort of way to organize code into 
"well-tested" and "experimental" areas.

Yes, it would be nice if code was not delivered as object libraries, but as 
source code that could be brought into a project.

A wiki is sometimes useful, but has it's own maintenance issues.

And I'm sure we'll set up a separate mailing list.

I definitely appreciate all the help you do, especially helping to answer 
questions on the mailing lists. However I would suggest strongly that you use 
your talents even more to help implement your ideas above instead of just the 
"good idea" list from the sidelines, otherwise it becomes overwhelming for 
those who are doing the work. I understand time constraints, and it's 
difficult. So I suggest that you try helping in one area as a start.
