The idea of a technology union is something where: Developers get together, agree to form a union, and allow each other to implement standards (approved by some process between themselves) into each other's software.
The reason you would want to do this, is to speed along development and implementation of proposed standards.
We originally talked about this idea in PICA. BayleShanks suggested that I take the TechnologyUnion idea, and seperate it from PICA.
