Thanks for the vote of confidence Todd.  I'm certainly delighted with
the exposure that the slashdot mention has brought the project.  Perhaps
now more people will start developing?  Who knows?

The future for OpenGEM now will be in making the package easier and more
logical to use, and building some more documentation.  Ideally, I'd like
to release an updated SDK, more documentation (a developers guide about
how OpenGEM is put together perhaps?) and some updates to the code in
OpenGEM Core/Complete (to make it a little easier to use and improve the
UPDATE/INSTALL function) and OpenGEM Experimental (more of the FreeGEM
code, fix some errors).
