Thanks for the elaborate explanation. The way I see it, there are two extreme situations I must avoid. The first is being opaque for the risk of not being able to integrate it into git.git at the end of the summer term. The other extreme is worrying so much about the integration of each little bit that the project keeps getting detracted, and eventually loses focus. To strike a balance, I will post progress reports to the mailing list (atleast) once a week, and keep a public development branch for myself. Occasionally, it might help to post patches for small components of the project with unittests to get a wider test audience. Ramkumar
