The cool thing about the Project Planning Software is that once complete, it can be implemented any way we want. We tried to make it clear in the RFP but I'll reiterate -- the presence of an analysis of the smartworkers classes does not mean technology lock-in. The project will be implemented the best way possible and I assure you that we at Collab.Net are definitely going to want this software to be easily integrated into all existing technologies that we have/are developing. On the other hand, since we've got a pool here of software developers (Smartworker/Opendesk) who are 1) very interested in OSS, 2) willing to help fund this technolgy's development and 3) have already demonstrated that they can put together a project planning tool and open-source significant parts of it -- I want to make sure that we take advantage of their expertise and experience. I know that we can create a win-win situation here and want to make sure works out that way in the end. :-) Keri Carpenter Wish Funding Coordinator [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sourcexchange.com If you have further questions/comments, I suggest that you take them up offline with her. :-) thanks, -jon stevens -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives and Other: <http://java.apache.org/main/mail.html> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
