This is CP2 or Code Project Projects and idea that kind of caught everyone's fancy. Basically, its 3 collaborative projects with about 58 (counting you) volunteers so far. Actually, I'm sure half of those volunteers will drop out, so we'll be left with a manageble number of people across 3 projects.
Read through the messages and if you would like to add anything, post it to my personal message board here at CP.

Also, so chaos does not reign supreme, I prefer to start all new discussions. Please post ALL request for comments (RFC) <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/script/profile/whos_who.asp?id=36966&df=100&forumid=5105&app=50&select=513418#xx513418xx">here</a>[<a target=_blank title='New Window' href="http://www.codeproject.com/script/profile/whos_who.asp?id=36966&df=100&forumid=5105&app=50&select=513418#xx513418xx">^</a>]. If you start your own thread, I will ask you to remove it. There will come a time when CPP discussions will be completely open, but not yet. Of course, I have no real authority other than what you people give me or what I try to take, so I am asking you to please do as I ask.
Thank you all for your civility thus far.

The second vote was a good idea. We got a better voter turnout, + we gave people time to re-consider their votes.

That's fine.

This is fine. I just want to start new threads in this forum about CPP and I don't want other forums being used for it either. We will have one place to go for updates and discussion until the projects are kicked off.

Well, here's my first logo...

If you have some suggestions, let me know.
BTW, I can easily replace "SmartUI" with "UGLY".

If we used the name UGLY, we'd have plenty of source images[^] to choose from.
Check out this image [^]I made for a CP Group Logo. Can you come up with a slogan to put on it?

It was a joke. Haven't you ever heard a "your mama" joke?

Yes, but I don't like them.
I'm not upset, I just think you have bad taste (again, just being blunt, and no offense meant). I'll be glad to drop it, and we'll just see how the vote turns out.

Being blunt often-times shows bad taste. As in this case.
Subject is dropped and I will refrain from humoring you ever again.

The mother joke was good!

Self-proclaimed, but I have a lot of experience in that area, and it would be my field of choice except that I like programming better.

SmartUI[^] is a product from Xceed Software so that name can't be used.

 I should have known.
Thanks for pointing this out.
BTW, you might want to do "UGLI" (Universal GUI LIbrary. Somehow, this seems more acceptable.

What do you all think?
I've seen some of these projects die because you end up needing some critical piece of code from someone and they don't deliver. I figure the design should identify the components to a sufficient granularity to allow people to compete for the implementation. Whoever's is best (qualified of course by also getting it done), as decided by the project manager, gets their code put into the project. Not everyone would compete on the same module/function--there would be teams assigned to different pieces.
OK. Le'me have it for this idea.

Won't that break the teamwork aspect? People working on the same part of the project won't help each other 'cause they want to be the one to win. That's just what we don't want.
