Re: Re: What's OSuser status?

Pat,

The second refactor Robert Dawson did on his own is superior to the "spike" we did together at
GeekNight. I'd suggest that it is used as the basis for the future. I've just had a quick look at
David's Sandbox version - and have to say that because of the incomplete interface/impl
separation, I'll look no further.

Perhaps we should also be mindful that diversity is a good thing. Is there a way that one or other
of the efforts can not trade as "OSUser", but still be released under the Open Symphony license?  
In respect of the refactoring, the authors do not change, but there is just one more added to the
list of each affected source file (if at all).

- Paul
