I agree this would be the best path. However, it would also be the
longest. If you need the code "ASAP", you are not going to get it with
an all managed provider. Long term, however, this is the best plan.

We use CVS (Cuncurent Versioning System), a common Open Source
versioning program, to allow multiple people to work on something at the
same time. It is just like inside Novell, except your coworker might
live on the other side of the world ;-).

I think having some NDS people on the Sys.DS team would be ideal.
