Hi carl,

unfortunately i arrived to late at the chat room yesterday evening. has there been made a decision on the subject?

i would be glad to commit something to the cvs but i cannot be sure if everything i do and change in the package is what others want. probably some parts should be commited, others not.

for example i have removed the functionality to edit a protocol before saving it. i do not think it is necessay to edit a protocol. a protocol should state exactly what has happened, if someone can edit it, who knows what has actually happened in the chat?

So who makes decisions about
- the development plan for the package and
- what is useful to all of the community?

Peter, you could always encapsulate the functionality you don't need in a parameter, e.g. "AllowEditP".

Allowing modification of a chat protocol by end users introduces all kinds of social issues.

Let's keep it simple for now and let people that want to modify public record use sql.

End users that want to edit the protocol can use their computer's clipboard and publish it somewhere else in the system.
