+1 to everything that Justin said. I think we all fully support alternative implementations like this. Its just a question of what should be in the core svn. as I feel that if I know a change I make, is going to break something else in the core svn, then I should fix that so it also works with my change. But with this being in perl that makes it harder to do. Even if it was in c#, by having two implementations of those servers, does make it harder to maintain.<br><br><b><i>Justin Clark-Casey <jjustincc@googlemail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> liu xiaolu wrote:<br>> Hi everyone,<br>><br>> To put other language implementations seperated from CORE svn is <br>> reasonable.<br>> I agree with that.<br>> Before I submit the patch of the Perl UGAI, I have been once thinking <br>> about to start<br>> a new project on Sourceforge.
