One area is to provide funds that allow people with full-time jobs to take some time away from them in order to - for instance - meet in development groups earlier and more readily than they might otherwise do to finish or to start planning a specific module or something more nebulous - direction of development for instance. An example would be locums for some of Horst's group, or for other doctors on occasion. I think quality assurance, which is not the same as quality control, is a problem that we need to tackle. I think that some academic input to that may be useful. -- From the Linux desktops of Dr Adrian Midgley http://www.defoam.net/
