Good point ... needs to be a brief text field. All I think we need to do is point out the general nature of the requirements. Since most software comes with documentation of some sort that is readable prior to downloading / installing, I think a full listing of hardware requirements / software dependencies will bog us down. I suppose we (I) should go back over previous e-mails and summarize / specify these fields for Deepak. I WOULD like to hear from others on this. It is a lot easier to properly specify a database than it is to add fields later. Adding the fields is not generally a serious problem ... but filling them in can be. Certainly there are more than the 5 people whose names I have seen involved with this. At this point in organizing this event, I think "lurking" is a luxury we can ill-afford. PLEASE folks ... if you have a (constructive / objective) thought, speak up!
