These days I must admit a sense of pride when I see PostgreSQL as a member and read news stories about SPI helping OpenOffice conduct its voting. I think that is great.
The original SPI concept that services are cheaper when you share them between projects is a valid one. All the services that SPI uses like lawyers, banks and the postal system are shared. We are just moving up one notch in specialization. It seems to me that it would be a shame to walk away from the original goal at this point, after so much work. -- Ean Schuessler, CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] 214-720-0700 x 315 Brainfood, Inc. http://www.brainfood.com _______________________________________________ Spi-general mailing list Spi-general@lists.spi-inc.org http://lists.spi-inc.org/listinfo/spi-general
