Olaf, you seem to be hinting the new WG could be about tools (open source or otherwise) rather than just open source software.
Yes, thanks, that is indeed what I tried to communicate, but couldn't formulate so succinct.
Open source developers (including me) have said "we would like a place to discuss open source tools within RIPE". I have not heard any proprietary developers say the same. I don't know why, but I guess because they already have plenty of venues to connect with users and each other. Can we try with a focus on open source and then re-charter to include closed systems later if there is a need for it? Cheers, -- Shane
