Hi,

I am involved in opensource, I dont see the benefit for the VCL,
Maybe a centralised place for fixes, changes and suggestions so people
can view and add as they please. These then can be viewed and approved
by Borland or TeamB.

what about http://vcl.borland.com , where users can register and supply
SKU's so that users can be tracked.

just a thought.
