Ray, I'm sure that, if you joined the OE effort, the 5 years span wouod 
narrow down to a manageable 2 or 3 years ! Step in !

	Quite a few descriptions of aspects of OE and the expected features ie 
in the "description" posts I posted on OpenEu. Due to the general lack 
of comments, I don't know if there is broad agreement, broad 
disagreement or anything in between about them.
	Additionally, a voting system had been put forth to select priorities 
and make some decisions. As of today, they were 4 votes. I was wondering 
if it is wise to star writing solid specs on such material. I frrl Derek 
has to send some signal to us about that.
	I'm taking a two week leave without any Internet connection.
	Keep on the good work!
