    I would think that work being done on Dingo, once people think it's
    ready, should be shared. The usual comments of "don't break the
    build" apply. I also figure that folks doing dingo work are watching
    the dingo branch for changes, but it might be good, before a big
    change, to say something here on net@.

    I like cleaning things up, but I'm really the greenhorn at committing
    so I hope others wil chime in. If it were my decision I would say
    that the Dingo branch should be the "cleanest" and then we could
    decide, when pushing to HEAD, how to handle that.

    Other thoughts?

    Later,
    George
