[Scons-dev] Roundup tracker demo instance...

[Andrew Featherstone]

I would think a simple vote would be a good idea. I think Florian has 
summarised things very well. In particular, the earlier comments about 
the 'fundamentalist' approach that appears in places (deciding to use 
tool x because it was written in Python) to be a very odd constraint to 
impose.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it previously, but I really like the 
ZeroMQ team's C4 model (http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:22), which forms a 
set of guidelines for how ZeroMQ and related projects can operate.
