Sometimes. And when i do this too much, bring it to my attention.

I mean, as soon as the Level1 OGS stuff is designed I will start.

OK. I get your point, and think its a misunderstanding. OGS and phpGW
are not joined at the hip.

I guess this is because I had already started with an XML-RPC interface
to phpGW. Ihave been running thru the tiny bit of code and taking notes
on what can be generalized and what will need to be tossed out in favor
of whatever OGS decides on. I am not going to start hacking OGS code
until I am done hacking out the Level1 OGS docs with those that want to
work on it with me.
