Re: Codebases and Tidbits

Thank you, Roland, for pulling all of this information 
together.  Most of it went into the proposal verbatim and was 
extremely helpful.

After doing that update of the Wiki page I am going to call the 
project INH (Insert Name Here) :-).   I updated the page to address 
Roland's concerns but I left all of the information there.  I just 
organized it a bit.

The following sections still need filled in:
Core Developers
Initial Committers
Mentors
Orphaned Projects

My idea for orphaned projects was: We realize that there is a risk of 
any project being orphaned.  However, as a community we strive to see 
the technologies utilized to the best of their ability within this 
problem space.

I know that there are some following this discussion because of the 
technologies being used and not the problem space or project necessarily.

Roland also mentioned the Roller discussions.  There was some 
discussion with the Roller folks.  There are a couple who are 
interested in having a plugin for Roller to a photo gallery but a 
language consensus couldn't be reached.  I can always email the list 
again and see if anyone wants to participate here.
