>Another thought is this...one thing the Fox community has that seems to be somewhat lacking in others is the focus on supporting tools. Frameworks, whitepapers, and other sorts of tools (like Cristof's Struct, for example) that peers provide each other. No doubt that philosophy will continue.

Maybe the OOP nature of .NET will lend itself to sharing as it does with VFP. You make a cool class that solves a problem, then upload it, with the source.

With old-school VB there seemed to be an attitude of buying not building. This would have stifled sharing.
