And it's a great plugin that I use almost every day! Like others, I've poked around and looked at other software, but so far I haven't seen anything that comes remotely close to LMS. It *can* be complicated for a tinkerer like me, but it can also be simple enough that my 75 year old aunt uses hers every day without any fuss. Yes, I had to install and configure it for her, but she knows how to get just what she wants out of the web interface. (She would not be able to install/configure *anything*, not because she's stupid but because "I don't understand computers" would prevent her from even trying.) I'm extremely happy that development continues on LMS, but frankly it would still be the best even if development stopped tomorrow. Certainly there could be some fundamental shift down the road that suddenly makes LMS seem lacking, but I don't have the imagination to think of what that shift might be at the moment. I suppose too that if development stopped tomorrow we'd eventually hit a point where future hardware would no longer run it, but...well, I mean, we can come up with a million "what if"s? for anything and everything. So I just continue to enjoy LMS as I have for well over a decade now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112042 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
