One cannot help but think of the "embrace and extend" policy of M$ explained at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace_and_extend which started off as "embrace, extend then innovate" but turned into "embrace, extend and extinguish"... I think playing nicely together and compromise generally is preferable :) <this is where Manfred inserts comments about how PS & MS still haven't reconciled certain Obj-C SWORD-wrapper code branches and that I need to fix that!> _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
