Is it possible the VA would support parameterization using the variable DUZ("AG") the way it has with VOE.

One thing that keeps coming up is the UI. A modern UI will require changes
to many packages, including Kernel, and Fileman.  If these changes touch
components (routines, options, DDs, etc) that are later modified and
released by VA, then someone needs to merge the changes. Its possible that VA would incorporate some of the better releases, but not likely they would incorporate all of them. The code will diverge. Standing examples are IHS
and CHCS.  VOE will be another.
Essentially these are different products.  They have a separate release
mechanism within their own organization.  They manage the name and number
spaces for development against their product.  If need be they merge in
releases from other organizations.  This community will need something
similar, maybe not today, but soon.

What sorts of projects? What modifications?
Please elaborate, this could be the start of an important discussion.

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.
