I think figuring out the specifics of the interface is the easy part. The more difficult issue, and the one that is going to take some time, is data protection/privacy. The main concern that was voiced a few days ago when I indicated I was going to reply to this thread was that I'd set expectations too high. This is going to take a while to sort out. Hopefully the enthusiasm will not have fizzled by the time the church is able to execute on a strategy. Aware of the risk of setting expectations too high, I thought it was important to get the message out that the church is aware of the opportunity, listening, and motivated to develop an OSS strategy. pete > > Peter Whiting wrote: > > >On Wed, Sep 28, 2005 at 12:07:24PM -0600, Alan Young wrote: > > > > > > > >>>with no response.
