Dear Greg, Not exactly. This is the way for non-VA folks to get the ear of other non-VA folks whose R&D efforts are being carefully coordinated with the VA. Bug fixes, especially, the VA is willing to accept into its patch stream so long as the team doing development meets VA standards for programming, documentation, testing, and verification. Fortunately, the team initially manning NOIS on OpenForum all have extensive experience with the VA software lifecycle, and so that will not be a problem.
