Hi, well, sorry that the discussion did not happen on the Chemistry mailing list.
But for those being employees needing a legal clearance from their employer, before they can contribute or mail to a mailing list, it is difficult to do that in an early stage... That's why we discussed that with Florent - and I did assume that he was discussing that with the Chemistry project. We have a working code base already - discussing the modus operandi and a potential merge with Chemistry seems to be time consuming to me (compared to doing a review once the entire OpenCMIS code is available and stabilized). Wouldn't it be worth to give it a try? Gianugo Rabellino wrote: > I wish this discussion happened on chemistry-dev, and I would actually > like to see what the community as a whole thinks about it.

I share Gianugo's and Bertrand's concerns. And as a mentor to the Chemistry poddling, I am even somewhat more concerned.... As such, I would welcome such discussion very much to take place and to sort out the issues.
