"Tyson:Am I invisible? Am I inaudible? Do I merely festoon
 The room with my presence?" - The Lady's Not for Burning by Christopher 
Fry.

Please, let's get this back to a technical level, shall we? Todd, 
instead of telling us
what we are doing wrong, give us the requirements for your project. 
Everybody else,
once Todd does that, let's discuss if we can incorporate it into the 
current framework,
and whether or not we want to.

We have three choices as far as I can tell, depending on what we decide.

1. Todd's agenda is a natural extension of the current project and we 
incorporate
it directly into the existing framework. Todd and/or anyone else 
contributes as
we have done up to now. Or Todd simply contributes any work he does.

2. Auditable time becomes a NTP project sub-project. The same framework
for development is used, but the codebase is separate.

3. We reject the project and Todd either starts a new project of his own or
forks the code.

Can we discuss this please instead of worrying about who owns what and pays
for this and that? Once the bigger issue of whether or not it even makes 
sense
is decided, the rest can be ironed out.
