[AccessD] Building up a framework

I am preparing a series of articles for Many-to-Many on building a
framework.  I have a very basic framework started with the clsFW class,
dclsFrm and dclsTextBox, as well as Sysvars and a couple of service classes,
ZIP and Unzip.  I will throw in a few more like some encryption classes.

AFAICT this much is functioning, I can load a form, the form scanner finds
all text boxes and loads a class for each, the SysVars function etc.

Many to Many only publishes every 2 months or so.  A series of articles will
take 6 months to a year to get out.  There is going to be a LOT of code, and
some pretty in-depth discussions of collections, Classes  / setup, teardown
and debugging, Withevents, service classes and all the other stuff that goes
into my framework.  The end result will be a fully functioning if still
rather basic application framework.

My question to the group is, should I hold a discussion of the framework,
how it is built, why I do this stuff and so forth on this list, or take it
off to another list for only those interested?
