Is it possible to package the regression scripts? Standardized regression scripts (if possible) along with a web based form or mailing list for posting the results of those tests would make it easier for users with various hardware/platforms to participate in the testing. > 2.

I take it you have now been in contact with them and they can at least help determine which Swiss structure is better for a structure that is going to own copyrights, yes? I am in total agreement with your reasoning, but the copyright ownership issues frighten me. Being a US citizen, I am conditioned to think of this as a major legal issue requiring legal council. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
