Open source collaboration [WAS: Re: Rev vs. AJAX... Ajax vsTAOO]

[MisterX]

David, Alex

Sure we need both structure and infrastructure but
we need first a common programming base... Without this
the rest wont follow... There's has to be goal...

We know there is demand and that there is support behind.
We know that there are suppliers (scripters) and lots of
background experience to be mixed in...

But if we do not set a "framework" ground, there's little
change we can avoid chaos. CVS for example is primordial
for the developper but we need a common storage and format
to go forward before we can say we do it "all" that way.

Ruby on Rails has apparently a phylosophy to it too. Not
following it leads to chaos and bloat compared to finess
and smooth applications... 

This is a big part in what I propose... The rest should
be simple for anyone to add on thereafter and others to
review... 

cheers
Xavier
