So, I again, plead for a framework. An API. A well thought out foundation. An architecture.

I agree that we should play nice with third-party installers. That said, I think you might want to do a cost-benefit analysis: either work on your own Sympal scripts, or team up with Derek, Earl, webchick et al to govern and improve certain design aspects of the core installer. We both know what strategy is going to win in the long term. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
