I think for things to change, what needs to progress is the standards, not the VAs desire to stick to them. Sticking to the standards is strong glue for holding VistA in a form that will be usable around the world and across platforms, and is good for all of us.

And doesn't sourceforge have this built-in? I agree that VA code is likely parked by the inertia of that massive organization. Anytime we start talking about modifying the code, we are talking about divergance. I think it may well be worth it, in the name of progress. Who can step forward and get this arranged?
