<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I think that the ibtp major goal is quality and not tools</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Ok. I just have two concerns.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> First, I would prefer a directory name that was less obfuscated. It is </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> not immediately obvious what a directory called "ibtp" contains. If </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the directory was called "test", then it would be clear.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The idea of ibtp is from ltp (linux test project) <A HREF="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/" TARGET="_blank">http://ltp.sourceforge.net/</A></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>We can go with test dir as well.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Second, I'm not clear on why this code should go under the trunk but </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the tools in <A HREF="https://openib.org/svn/gen2/utils" TARGET="_blank">https://openib.org/svn/gen2/utils</A> should not. I had been </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> thinking that all of the code under the trunk was intended for end </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> users. I'm not sure if that is the distinction though. Perhaps the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> ulps, users, and utils, directories in <A HREF="https://openib.org/svn/gen2/" TARGET="_blank">https://openib.org/svn/gen2/</A> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> are out of place.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Maybe it should be also under the trunk.</FONT>
