[Friedrich Strohmaier]

Hi Alex, *,

i try to make it as short as possible in order not to waste too much
valuable developer time while reading. Superfluous to mention: I'm not a
developer ;o)).

                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The latter definitely is a good Idea.

Because this beeing a developer list, I started a discussion on the
projects list, targeted to achieve creating a replacement for ORB using

Hope this was suitable mail length with respect of this list's purpose
