Re: [Wtp-wst-dev] Starting work on the XSD editor

Hi Dave,

Some answer's to your questions...

Yes, we're planning to begin doing
the refresh this week.  I'd suggest waiting until
after the refresh before begining any
major work on this.  I'd be interested to see
any thoughts or suggestions that you
might have now that you've gone thru the process 
of eyeballing the code.

These issues all fall under the category of getting the code refreshes
for all of the various dependencies.
I think the picture here will be much
clearer after a week or so.

Yes, several of us are working on this.
 And yes, I'd recommend waiting for the refresh.  I appreciate
your interest and look forward working with you on this component!

thanks
