I would voluntarily work with M. I don't have a lot of spare time, and I usually get enough of development during work. When I do something work related in my spare time, it usually has to do with increasing my marketable skills. There are a couple of projects interesting enough to me that I would spend my free time working on them. But I'm not convinced the effort would be worthwhile.
I believe VistA will live at VA for years to come. I think for VistA to really make it outside the VA it needs modifications significant enough to force divergence from the FOIA code. How will this be handled? I can't see spending the time without this problem being addressed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 10:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Attracting developers Motivate them. Either with money, or by ggiving one a reason to do it. No one would voluntarily work with M, whose cool one variable type just barely outweighs its horrible language definition. I am using it because I have a goal in mind. You will have to do the same for that programmer.
