Hmm.  No, I actually was fairly cheerful about the
glowing comment; the Portland Project has helped me in
a very direct way.

Of course, it was the analysis/documentation phase that
provided direct help to me; I'll gleefully point that out
to folks that are rushing to a new implementation rather
than working on documentation.

This is an area, though, where I think OSDL could
make a huge difference.  We're mostly volunteers,
and rational volunteers want to voluteer to do something
fun (like implement dapi).

But if OSDL can *pay* someone to do it... <grin>

Cheers,
