Folks,

The Dixon-Erickson (DE) proposal has been built from the ground up looking at the various pros and cons of the two controller bases. I believe its unbiased, has solid technical merit, its open and frankly, its the best proposal we have.

I think we should start using this proposal as the guideline to actually start the code and merge the controller bases into one, and start writing applications around it - Anees, Colin and the team from IBM will start working on this direction right away.

We intend to make our contribution (and start developing code) in the context of Dixon-Ericsson proposal because it makes most sense to us. I'd like to move forward with this as soon as possible.

I feel a bit sheepish after you saying "to be crystal clear" in the first sentence, but I'm still a bit confused.

Are you saying that you agree with
(1) the proposal that Dave Erickson and I put forward for how to merge the two controllers?
(2) the proposal that Chris Wright made to try to decide the issue before the hackfest?
(3) or both?

Thanks,
--Colin
