Both? Certainly I think that all is required is some decent  
collaborative infrastructure built into the Rev environment to turn  
the healthy interest expressed on the list into a practical reality.  
I am committed to doing this as it is part of my work to release the  
Rev based software I work on for the Community TV Project here in  
Vienna as open source. This means I feel for the reasons you outline,  
more than releasing the code. It also means providing some  
infrastructure?
