Christian, I too, have struggled to understand this situation (being one of the perpetrators). I don't think it is necessarily all bad to have 4 or even 40 project lists/link libraries. However, it will be very nice if we can have a way to propagate updates and changes more efficiently across sites. It is not hard to create a project list. The hard part is updating it. :-) Similarly, it is not hard to make an electronic medical record system; the hard part is making it inter-operable with other systems. So far, I have not been able to convince anyone that the "project list" is useful as a testbed for developing inter-operable health information systems.

Documents for an active project are probably better hosted by the project itself. This makes updating more "local" without having to go through notifying LinuxDoc, for example. I can't imagine how letting LinuxDoc host all the documentation from the OIO project, FreePM, GnuMed, etc will be reasonable. > Don't get me wrong, please, your links are precious and for sure we > would merge them into Spirit, OIO or so. If Gerardo or anyone is willing to download the content from the OIO Library's projects/documents database as an XML file and merge them into LinuxDoc or other place, that will be great. Alternatively, if Gerardo or anyone is willing to contribute/give their content to the OIO Library, that will be great too. Of course, having some kind of open content license and a structured/tagged output will be helpful. Best regards, Andrew --- Andrew P.
