Ask them if they want to adopt your system. For me you care far too less about FreeBSD specifics to be really useful. >> OTOH when you think we have different design goals, it should be no >> problem for me to change the database, since portaudit is database >> format agnostic. > > This (``format agnostic'') seems to contradict what you stated above, > so I think I must not quite understand. I can get my data from multiple sources, and vuxml doesn't seem to be the ideal format, especially since you `own' it and refuse to join forces. > P.S. Did you miss this part?

Did you review the changes you've done to the entries made by me, or did you change them just because they did not fit in your concept? Anyway, don't ask me to improve your system by making suggestions. Tell me what you have to offer over having my own database or let us just go our ways, respecting that our projects have a different focus. -Oliver
