Frank,

An excellent idea! Espescially for a small developer like myself; lets face
it--the market is far from unlimited and if I can sell a product to people with
a variety of OSK platforms then I _might_ even get my _costs_ back.

Are you offering to act as a clearing house? That might create problems since
you are a competitor, but I suppose that everyone involved in this will be a
competitor of some kind.

I take it that you are NOT suggesting that if a member is working on a XYZ
software package that others would not have the same right. It seem that the
problems you are speaking of are more in relation to system stuff. Having 2 or
more GUIs would be a disaster. And lets face it, with a system like OS9 there
should be NO excuses for incompatible software.

What do you mean by "rules for software to follow". Are you thinking of user
interfaces or mundane (important!!) stuff like default devices and port
addresses?
