Actually I think that what is happening is exactly what Don was afraid of and he is gone for a week so he can't even pipe in. He was worried that the OpenNSD/ns_tcl/etc would draw away from the resources of the OpenACS community. I am extremely happy with the work John and Michael are doing with the ns_tcl/portable nsd work and look forward to their work but it is still a little ways off. Also although 4.0 has been on its way for awhile it *really* will be released shortly and I think it would be a waste of resources to do anything based on the 3.x branch. Considering a lot of stuff is right around the corner and there is *lots* of items that still need to be addressed concerning OpenACS, ie docs, testings, mktging pieces, etc. I think it is probably more detrimental to the community to spend time on OpenNSD at this time IMHO. Down the line maybe, but I just thought I heard a bird whispering these things to me :)
