Nothing at all, I just didn't want you to be insulted or feel that I was 
in competition. If you don't mind, then I'll go ahead. I was mostly 
concerned about your feelings.

Sure, no problem. My main fear was that after the documentation 
discussion you'd think I was trying to compete, which of course I'm not. 
It was just something that Richard and I had discussed, and I was 
putting together some specs to post to the list.

No, not at all. It's all a volunteer effort and I had some time this 
weekend.

We mostly use this list to coordinate IDE efforts and anyone who wants 
to change or add something usually posts here first. Then we gather 
ideas, get a consensus, "assign" the project to that person, and it 
proceeds. I really welcome your contributions and I don't want to 
discourage you in any way, so I'm sorry if my last post sounded 
critical. If your stacks don't directly hook into the IDE, then no 
announcement is expected. This one doesn't, so it's fine. Your stack is 
a welcome addition and as long as you aren't insulted if I continue, 
then we're cool.
