Thanks, Michel. Let me make a few corrections though. Ricardo is the Group Program Manager for Community for all of VS. Basically, lots of community features that will be coming into the products, efforts that take place in the company will be headed by Ricardo. He's been doing a lot of it already, and this makes it official.

The VS Data team that I'm heading is made up of the VDT and VFP groups, as you mentioned. I'm not in charge of SQL Server or XML - I'm in charge of driving tools, languages, and access to data for all the developer tools. IOW, there's a SQL Server group that creates SQL Server, my group handles how best to provide access to it across all developer products.

Hope this helps.

>It's been announced at GLGDW 2002, a few minutes ago, during the keynote by Ken Levy, that Ricardo Wenger is now the community manager for the Visual FoxPro team. There is also a new visual data team for Visual Studio (VDT). The VDT and the Visual FoxPro team are now under the same manager, Yair Alan Griver. That team includes VFP, Visual Studio .NET, SQL Server and XML. More details will follow from the upcoming offical coverage of GLGDW 2002 by the Universal Thread later on tonight.
