Hi Rob, Good to see you here too. There is no online list of former ESUG board members, is there? You probably want to look at p119-126 in PBE and then some chapters in PBE2: - Managing projects with Metacello - Gofer: Scripting package loading - Versioning your code with Monticello Monticello packages are 'interesting' for someone coming from VW. Infrastructure is changing there, being replaced by RPackage & friends. The package name in Monticello decides which categories belong to it. Stephan
