Has the Taverna team considered kinda altering its standard response to questions like this, so to build an open source community? What I mean is that if I see a response that says "It's coming in 2.x" then I think, ok I guess I'll wait for it (while gradually becoming more disillusioned). I felt that a lot in the wait for T2 itself. OTOH, if I see a response that says, "hey, great idea, I think one would have to make some changes to the Foo class <link to SVN>" then maybe, just maybe, I'll roll up my sleeves and have a bash at it. A little hand-holding through the code sometimes goes a long way (on taverna-hackers, of course!). No guarantees, of course, but that's open source for you. Whether the project accepted such a patch would be a different question, of course, and that discussion is always easier once the code in hand. But FWIW, my point is that roadmaps are sometimes counter-intuitively demotivating to a community, if you are looking for contribution... I'm not following taverna-hackers so perhaps I'm speaking out of turn here, just a thought :) Cheers, James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
