+ AA6YQ comments below
On the first point, we more or less agree. A development team can focus on many
things, true. The point Im trying to make here is
that logging and weak-signal processing are two very different functions, and
don't belong in the same application. If an exception
is to be made here, yes, it should be loosely coupled.
More disagreement is found in the second point. Yes, a UDP message defined by
the ADIF specification is an API. I do question if
it's appropriate.
What I want is for the Ham Radio software generally: Let's catch up to modern
software practices, and perhaps even return to the
position of innovating. At some point, we seem to have lost that.
Perhaps Im wandering off the topic of the list. Im happy to continue the
discussion in email or some other public forum if
appropriate.
+ Over the past 20 years, I've seen at least 3 "let's define a standard set of
APIs" efforts arise but quickly fizzle. Everyone is
happy to do it -- so long as their interfaces are the ones that get
standardized.
+ If you'd like to discuss this offline, I'm happy to do so.
73,
Dave, AA6YQ
