Chris, One of the great strengths of the Flex project is that both ends of the software (the back-end, or business end that is related to the RF,and the front-end which is the GUI. or user system control interface, that you see on your computer screen), is being developed under a cohesive development tracking and reporting system. Not to mention the open source, which additionally is a tremendous project strength. Log into the Bug Tracker and Feature Tracker part of the web site. You will see a Feature request ( http://support.flex-radio.com/ReviewBug.aspx?id=273&it=F ) that directly addresses some of your concerns. Feel free to add your own comments. The development team at Flex is looking at these comments. To prevent un-necessary "reflector chatter" and useless non productive message threads these Feature and Bug reports are held to that part of the web site, where they can be dealt with in a professional development environment. Chris, to be honest, it has taken all my powers of personal reserve to adhere to the protocol of using only the above mentioned Feature and Bug Trackers and not allow myself to "bubble over" into the reflector about the subject matter of your first paragraph that I quoted above. Enough said that I was concerned enough to have had previously penned a private note to John and Eric expressing my concerns. about just the subject matter that you mention.. the issue of what I used to refer to (in 25+ years of software development) as the "gee-whiz factor". Anyway, not to worry,.. no Gin and Tonic necessary. You sound like your first look already has you hooked! You are in the right place at the right time. 73s -Dan K6KDK _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
