If that is how you have followed any license discussion that has occurred on this list, I would hope you would go back and read it. It is an issue of education, not superiority. No one license is better or worse than any other, and they all have various pitfalls associated with them. At least, any post I have made has never been one of "License XXX is better than license YYY". I have contributed to open source projects under many different licenses, and don't feel any are superior. As far as posts being off topic, I would have to say that there seems to be little to no topical discussion on this list, as there is little to no topical work being done. In the many months I have been following this list, the closest thing to actual VistA development that has occurred has been your work with imaging. The rest of the posts seem to revolve around minor issues of configuration, generic M/VistA programming help, and various people's random thoughts. So, I guess, my question is basically what exactly is considered topical for this list? I have yet to even fully understand what this list is for. Is it a list for WorldVista? If so, what is WorldVistA actually doing? Where is their CVS repository where they are creating code changes? If it is a list for OpenVista the same questions apply. In general there seems to be a lot of talk from various people on this list but little to no actual progress (with some notable exceptions). I hope no one takes offense at these comments, I am just attempting to fully understand what exactly is the goal of collaborating on this list. As for my personal goal of being on this list, I was hoping to 1) further my understanding of VistA and 2) provide some form of assistance for people looking at CPRS and the RPC APIs that VistA provides. I feel that I have done both at various times. --Todd ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
