Hi, all.

Yet, I'm not sure for the (non-) necessity of the branch after reading
comments by Fernando and you, but we can have a branch anytime when
desired. So OK, we don't create a new branch now.

Let me remind you that a branch allows us to share codes, though
there're other ways, like wiki 'scripts' page. (I forgot to say this
in the last mail ;)

Thank you for revealing your plan. Probably like others, I'm looking
forward to it. 

Fernando's observation on group is deep, but also diffcult to draw the
correct bluprint. Maybe we can think better after having read your
notes as a milestone.

If I was abrupt in the procedure of branch, sorry.  I confused what's
necessary and desirable. We should begin with the necessary, keeping
the desirable in the sight.

This is a good observation after re-reading; because we can't defer
the release of 1.5 infinitely, we have to balance the achievement and
the goal a couple of months later, using the criterion similar to the
above quote.

Thank you too for your reply. We already gained much from you. And
feel free, it's based on each's will, after all.
