O.K. I will modify the location of the files. I am going to change
the name of this new directory to devel/join/, the name Darren gave it
for this. I like this for understandability and memorability.
The name of this new subdirectory is OK for everyone ?

Thank you for the nice name :) I am going to use this name "join".

Thank you for proposal. I don't know if we require this yet, but if NMAM team
requires that, then I will work.

These pages may be created by "Oliver Elphick" <olly@lfix.co.uk>, so I rely
on him to answer this. All I do is just to put the links to his page.

Yes.

Thank you. I expect your FAQ page is useful a lot.

I have read the tread about intro/organization. We can solve this
in more general fashion (or already solved ?), I think.

O.K. there will be link on updated "Glossary" section to this list.

Then I will work for this. Thank you for guidance.

I am going to use the Darren's idea, "devel/join/index". It is shorter and
maybe more understandable, I think. Is this OK for you ?

Thank you for your work. I have updated my cvs tree, and read your change.

I have read the tread about this. I agree to this idea in general.

Thanks.
I will post when I update my "Sample Implementation".
Please wait for a while.
