RE: Proposal: A Registry Browser GUI tool

[Nicholas Kassem <Nick.Kassem@eng.sun.com>]

Dale,

I don't want us to thrash around and debate this stuff ad-nauseam. My plan 
is to work with Steve and pull together a consolidate *Draft* proposal and 
have at least a couple of iterations on-line and vote on it on the 21st. 
Hopefully this works for everyone - if not ping me.

Regards,
Nick

p.s. If I'm not seeing enough participant support we will scale back. 
Remember we are still in the "Paint the dragon" mode - we will be off 
dragon slaying soon enough.
