Glad to hear that :)
What we need now : a web board. Which can send emails when new posts are 
done (any board can do that) and alternatively include the message in 
the email (through a configuration checkbox on the board). Being able to 
reply via email would be a MAJOR advantage (possible when signing messages).

The board is OK. The doc is on SF and it's working. No need to change 
now. (maybe a WebDAV system would be a MAJOR advantage ;)

A SF interface ? With a CVS, bug tracking system, etc ? Nice !

So CoreCodec intends to be the SF of multimedia ? My cup of tea :)

Or is it the Fashion Supreme Factory ? ;)
Congratulation, you just posted tactical informations on a public 
mailing list and a public forum ;)

I'd prefer a few less (the bugs).
Also this whole system will require a LOT of bandwidth, CPU resource, 
memory, etc...

And for every OS I guess :)

Well, the CVS could be uploaded to CoreCodec, that's technically 
possible. But first we need to know if the traffic won't be too big for 
them and the machine speed will be OK (CVS is probably time consuming).

Great.
I'll be there for the launch party :) (in case you need a DJ ;)
