Again, thank you all for your information and input which has been
invaluable.
I will now go away and have a think about everything. If I decide to
proceed then I will prepare a specification or roadmap document and then
post it on Github.
Many thanks
Richard

Thanks for your comments. SGML is sounding more and more like something I

Thanks Daniel.
I'm aware of Pollen and also thought that it might be a good starting
point. I've also seen Beautiful Racket, which seems very good.
Of course, it is designed for creating ebooks rather than my use case, but
I agree there is probably a strong crossover. For example, the pollen

Hi Greg
Thanks for your suggestions. I haven't found anything yet which would be
extensible and I have looked on and off over a number of years. I would be
delighted to be proved wrong, however.
I think however that it would make sense for me to create a careful roadmap

I am not a lawyer but maybe need to send some documents to courts in the

Hi, Richard.
My initial reaction is that the full scope of what you described would
be a very ambitious project -- it would take a lot of time and people
to do and maintain over time.
Are there existing commercial or open-source software systems to run a
small to medium sized law practice? If so,

I'm a lawyer practising from a small firm in the UK. I am also a
Racket-hobbyist.
I'm writing to ask for comments, and perhaps even collaborators, regarding
a proposed project to build a case management system.
