Just stay off my ass! Hehe, I guess I have been talking to John and his language is catching on.

 I sure hope not.
Thanks for listing out the project phases, Jason.

I don't think so...
The reason I think too many messages posted in span of 3 or 4 days. It makes difficult to read those many messages and sometimes CP hiccups.
People like me who spend 1 hour or 2 hours a day on CP, it's very difficult to read all the messages and reply back to them.
My suggestions:
1. What we need is a CP Wiki board exclusive for Collaboration board? (with no advertisements and Expanded view)
or
2. Daily Digest of all the messages posted in the Collaboration board mailed to participating members?

But we also need a message board where we can talk about the projects and joke around(you know those bad jokes that Paul usually tells )

Personally, I think it's a good idea.
Maybe you could help Chris out with it, though.

but Paul Watson was also nominated. Paul, any thoughts? Are you interested? If not, Anders will be declared the PL.
Oh hey I was nominated. To be honest though I think Anders should be the guy (his idea.) If PMS, the ASP.NET Web Control Library or the Code Snippet projects get voted sometime then I will happily lead if nominated for them.
I want to only lead something I am really interested in, otherwise I will be a bad leader for not having much passion for the idea.
I am willing to work on the Defect Tracker project though as it is definitley a part of the PMS idea as far as I think.
Can't wait for work to begin guys, it should be an experience to remember whatever the outcome

The original idea was a Defect Tracking and a Source Versionering tool (Like Source Safe or CVS), and make them work together....
What has happened with that?
Are we still going to make both parts?

Like Marc, I would also like the teams to be established before we make the design documents for the project. I think it would be a good idea if there is a couple of persons working on those.
Anyone interested in helping me with all the writing?
I mean, English is not my native language, and I'm not the best writer in the world...

I'll be glad to help out, although I don't know a whole lot about versioning/source control.

Sorry for the confusion, but I think that's how I have it outlined, or at least how I envisioned it.
I'd like you to write up an abstract using a template file I'd like to send you, summarizing your own ideas of the project. Once that is finished, send it back to me for posting approval on this forum. (I know I'm the forum posting Nazi, but somebody has maintain control.  )
You will then get suggestions for improvement, etc. but you're the leader and don't have to use any of them. After taking comments for a day or so, we'll start the project article series and begin building teams.
After that, will be the design phase where you write up design docs.

I think we need to establish balanced teams with interested people first, then let a leader be borne from that. As far as "Leader" goes, I think you are filling the role fine for now. You're kinda like the CEO, establishing the vision for focused work. Let the employees get the job done. If we get teams together and get active discussions on each project, we can start to brainstorm over the project in general. Chances are, as we pour over a project as a team, we may come to realize that the project may need to take a different form altogether (for reasons as mentioned above).
We need a clear consensus on the vision and goals of a project before we even open our IDE. We need a clear system design and requirrements specification. We need to define a target audience (customer) and aim to meet their needs. We need to look beyond the coding aspects of the project and take it as a chance to learn the business and design aspects of the craft as well.
Let's not start too fast, and don't get discouraged over the pace. We want quality not quantity. Let the idea sink in for a while, and lets get some volunteers committed to a team to get the ball rolling so to speak.
Also, we should plan some CP get-togethers to get to know each other beetter. I live in the Dallas TX area, and will be in the DC/Bethesda/PotomacMD area for a week in mud-july. I also plan on being in North-East PA (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area) in December. Maybe we can gather some people together over a ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) or three.
Anyway, comments?

Perhaps we could do this with UGLY, since the nominees either haven't responded or are less than enthusiastic.
I may setup an article series for UGLY and let people join then establish a leader.
Be patient with me while I iron out the look and feel of the article series. It may be a few days, and right now I need to sleep since I have deprived myself of it for far too long.

That's exactly what I'm thinking too. I don't want to start coding as in former times and then having to do so many redesigns to existing code. Why not build our projects that way software has to be build?

Firstly, apologies for my slow response. My CP visiting rights at the moment are quite low in priority, a big push at work, GF wanting all my spare time and moving house as well - so I only get to visit once/twice a day, and there are lots of posts to catch up on.

Tom Welch and Roger Allen have been nominated for the position in the UGLY project. However, Tom hasn't shown himself lately, and Roger seems to have little interest in running it.
Its not that I am not interested in running it, I am in a way, its just me being a bit scared of something new (probably), also, my spare time capacity is low at the moment, and if I did commit to it, I would like to put a bit effort into it.
I do have a variety of ideas, so even if I do not turn out to be PL, I would be interested in reviewing the spec/document and filling in my ideas.
When it comes down to a project like this we are going to need a coding standard of some sort also to make sure that all the individual contributions will fit together easily and not look a mess of different styles (unless one person ended up re-formatting all the code)
These are some of my intial thoughts.
Also, if peple have Sonork, I will be floating around in Bobs hung out for a while so we can chat about any issues if necessary

Might this hinder you ability to lead a CP2 team?

Would you mind if I emailed the abstract template to you directly?
If you don't mind, you will be considered the defacto PL for this project until you relinquish the role or take it up full time.
