Kees,
Technical anarchy is sometimes a good thing, as it can result in breakthrough ideas. The price to pay is it sometimes causes head-spinning confusion, so it certainly isn't appropriate for structured projects with well defined goals. I don't think this project has well-defined goals and that's what makes it so interesting to me. There is a unifying philosophy though; everyone is trying to make enhancements to a common platform, the uBITX, and that platform is our de-facto interface standard.?
Vive la difference!
Joe
