-1 I'm not in favour of paying for open source development ad hoc, last minute
Has any asked whoever built the current library if they will fix it? btw: I do agree it is an issue that we changed the site during the process -- but changing again is also bad. That people were locked out from joining for a while was disappointing. I'd prefer to try and keep the site stable until the elections are over and then replace RPX with an open source implementation that works. -- Dick On 17-Dec-08, at 6:30 PM, Scott Kveton wrote: > Sorry for the all-caps ... just trying to get folks attention. > > RPX was deployed onto the OIDF members page earlier this month and > there were a few concerns around the use of a non-vendor neutral > technology for something like foundation voting.
