Re: [Gnumed-devel] what happened to the GNUmed developers ?

[Richard Terry]

Yeah, well, they all dropped out because of the fact that because karsten 
keeps such a iron hand on things, he is the only member of the team.

IE, as I've crapped on about ad-nauseum, gnumed dosn't operate as a team of 
developers - people come, people leave once they realise that their idea's 
are not going to be implemented. We have had some much diverse talent drop 
away.

Gnumed will only move forward when those who really want to contribute fill 
defined niches according to their skills.
