Hmmm, why 10? :-)
I was afraid you would ask that. :) First of all, I like it when things happen. You think about something and post a message and get fast feedback. If we are ten people, there is always somebody online that you can talk to. If you have a project with 5 people and one drops out in the middle of the project it is a catastrophe. Etc.. But stay tuned here at CP, post some messages and soon we will be enough people to start something. jhaga CodeProject House, Paul Watson wrote: ...and the roar of John Simmons own personal Nascar in the garage.

That's why I want to keep things in this forum and not spread throughout the site. We're still in preliminary stages, but once the projects are determined, things should pick up and hopefully we can devise a system of better communication. Your complaint is duely noted.

First of all, I hope I'm not doing the wrong thing by replying here. Second of all, here's my thoughts: Jason Henderson wrote: Idea submittal and voting have come to a slow crawl or stopped altogether so we'll just say its time to chose the final three projects. My thoughts exactly. Jason Henderson wrote: Universal Gui LibrarY (UGLY) Please, not UGLY! That's the opposite of what we want! How about SUIT - SmartUI Toolkit. Also, if we do a UI Library first, then it's easy to start out simple - do it one control at a time :) . We can stop any place along the way. Jason Henderson wrote: Divide up into teams (I have an idea on how to do this but we'll discuss later). I have an idea too... later. :) Jason Henderson wrote: Project leaders and team members will then need to define the scope and timeline for the project. A design document would be very nice. Anyone have a nice Design Doc template? I have some ideas and questions - where shall we discuss it? GOOD JOB, JASON!

Once we get past this stage the ideal would be to have a "CPP" section on the left of the home page. So perphaps under "Community" a link to CPP. The category of the article would be CPP. --

Jason, I am sure you know what you are doing, but I found this and might help everyone http://www.construx.com/survivalguide/test.htm[^] I am going to use it for my HAI project, i think. Later,

UGLY is just the opposite of what we want - we want something that looks nice. Would you buy a toolkit that's called "UGLY"??? I think we should have a vote on this one.

But that doesn't have the same effect as UGLY. BTW, what's up with your sig? I mean, what does *c.* represent? I saw that post...and there was nothing bad with the words that Paul used.
