He is pretty good at manipulating a conversation. <s>

True. But the other side of that argument is that screen real
estate is free and too much on a screen is confusing. <g> 

This will be a non-issue in the near future. Two reasons: the
template generator will be finished so that you design your own
input screens, a graphical UI will be available that runs inside
the browser (via a plugin).

The best is Python. With javascript or Tk/Tcl

This occurs in all systems of course. Being the arrogant American
that I am <g> We can use the base FreePM and collect a set of
documents that delineate the differences in other countries. I
have also just suggested this to users in Malaysia.  While I have
not implemented this technically yet, the granularity available
using Zope makes it possible to easily create modules (objects)
that can be activated/deactivated via configuration options. 
Since I do not have enough knowledge about system requirements
worldwide I must depend on you to draft those documents. We then
can set about building the various implementations.

I think it shows how the community is maturing into a
collaborative effort. It has taken many discussions to get this
far. <g>
