As accurate as G. Bush's assessment of Iraq I'd say - utter bullshit. The current code base of some 150,000 LOC has mainly been contributed by 4 developers and is the product of multiple complete rewrites, so the total lines of code written so far is about 4 times that There are at least two separate code forks on top ofthat. None of the developers gave up or even reduced their daytime job in the process, more of a hobby, not really possibleto put a price tag on that In the past two years I have not been really involved with mainstream gnumed development, just working on my own code fork, so I might be wrong regarding the current situation Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
