Honestly if they want to go off and work on this project because it gets them excited about open source then that's a good thing and they should be allowed to do that (the whole Gentoo Foundation thing and copyright business aside) as a stand alone project. What stake do you have in this to really hurl a bunch of questions at them about their problems with existing solutions and goals? I'd honestly just drop it and let them do what developers are suppose to do and produce some code. Maybe the project goes no where, maybe it comes up with some interesting ideas that can be merged in with other projects, or maybe it becomes something that stands on its own. My feeling is if people want to code, let them code. Let them do what they want to do and enjoy themselves, even if you think their idea sucks. -- Doug Goldstein
