you would hope wouldn't you? ;)
Whether he is joking there is more truth in it than I am comfortable with.
Have a look at what projects duplicate between them and you will know what
I mean. Ironically Commons was an attempt to stop the NIH and start sharing
between projects (internally at first). However there was another project
with the same purpose and the reason that was cited for not joining that
was NIH - comical eh ?

Naah your not wrong but hopefully we are on the road to fixing it. GUMP is
one part of the puzzle, CJAN is another, revive jyve and we have another -
the few remaining parts will slowly come into place after that I hope.
Anyways I think Sam declared that as part of his mission as PMC head guy so
hopefully more stuff will be going to help this ;)
Cheers,
Pete
