[Joachim Pileborg (The Arrow):]

 &gt;However, among all the buzz-words and efficiency talk, there is one word I
 &gt;miss:  simplicity.  Personally I think this project first of all should be
 &gt;simple, and efficiency and modularization should come after that.  At leas
 &gt;it should be so if we want this, I don't know waht to call it, "creation" ;)
 &gt;to spread outside the little circle this list really is.

Wise words. A lot of the talk flying around certainly has the smell of
complexity attached to it. That is often an unfortunate consequence of
"design by comittee". I too would advise trying very hard to keep things
simple at the early stages - complexity will creep in all too quickly,
despite any attempts to stamp it out.
