All, I have been thinking about how to overcome potential objections in adopting Jess. I would like to get your suggestions on one such objection. It seems Jess has been built, maintained and improved by Ernest. What would happen to Jess if something happens to him? (I love Jess and I hope Ernest will live to a ripe old age.)
I can think of a few responses. For example, Jess is very good as it stands, so we can still benefit greatly by using it even if nothing will be done to it from now on. We can improve the software ourselves by modifying the source code, etc. Responses like these seem like dodging the question. What I hope is an answer along the line that there are people in the Jess community who can step up and fill Ernest's role. But I don't know if that's the case. Thoughts? Many thanks. Felix
