<P>1) We have plans to divide the Erlang/OTP distribution into s number of

package (erts,kernel,stdlib,sasl,mnesia,os_mon,inets,compiler,..) <BR>-
Tools&Utilities (parse_tools, tools, debugger, observer, et, tv, ... <BR>-
Telecom/protocols (snmp, asn1, orber, megaco, ...
<P>The exact contents is not settled yet. <BR>When this happens is not decided
either but an optimistic guess is <BR>before the end of 2003.

<P>There is some research money <BR>available both on national and <BR>European
level (for example <BR>Eureka). Perhaps we could <BR>put together some proposal.
