Hi Tim, well, i agree with your arguments. but my point is another. i would like to have a db of faq in a forum, so this way i and the other release managers would have a much easier work to collect it and create that much needed guides on installation / use / personalization. as you know this is the hardest part when starting anew with c2x. this would ease a lot the new comers on finding what they are looking for instead of posting the same questions over and over on the mailing list. i'd like this to be a developers list in a more narrower way.
i don't think that the majority of the doctors who read this list is interested on why the lab code is in 2nf or why we had to make the code transaction safe, but they are interested in the new parameter handling - which is a thing that a developer needs to discuss with a doctor. maybe my mail was a bit rude, but i think that a separation is needed, between developers discussion and users suggestions. if you have any suggestion on how to handle this i'd be more then pleased to implement it. gjergji Tim Schofield wrote: > Hi Gjergj, > > Much as I admire the work that you do on Care2X I must disagree with > you on this one. > > Up until tonight 304 mails have been sent to the developers list in > the 299 days of 2008.
