Hi Suzanne,

Thank you for your post.  I believe you bring up a very important point.

We (ROOT users and developers) would benefit tremendously if we had an
interface to the ROOT libraries which was separate from the implementation.
It would allow for the possibility to develop third party libraries and
applications.

So, may I ask the ROOT Team what are the plans for providing an interface to
the ROOT libraries?  Could we expect this for ROOT 3.0?  If so, maybe the
ROOT Team would consider soliciting feedback from the ROOT community on what
the interface requirements would be?

Cheers, Matt
