sl-wiki-development — Open Discussions of SQL-Ledger development and related documentation.

[Chris T. <ch...@me...>]

Hi all;

Welcome to the SQL-Ledger Documentation Project's Development list.  
This list aims to be the central point building development 
documentation for SQL-Ledger and a clearing house for other community 
projects.  This is an appropriate place to ask for information about 
SQL-Ledger API's information on customizing SQL-Ledger, and information 
on adding additional projects to the community development aspect of 
this project.  As the list grows, new lists may be added in order to 
avoid clutter.

This is also a good place to ask for beta testers for add-ons.

In the early months of this list, the viability will be determined by 
various parties willingness to contribute time and effort into answering 
questions that people pose.  So for those who are on this list which are 
programmers, I would like to suggest that you ask whatever questions you 
need answered and we will do what we can to give you whatever answers we 
have readily available.

I also want to mention one thing in order to avoid misunderstandings.  
DWS Systems, which maintains SQL-Ledger provides their documentation as 
part of a support account bundle (range from about $200 to about $900).  
When we at Metatron Technology Consulting started working on community 
documentation, their manual was the only documentation available.  This 
has lead many people to accuse us of working to undermine the 
maintainers of the software.  Our approach is quite simple-- we will not 
do anything that we would not appreciate if the situation was reversed.  
Naturally we will see things differently and some conflict is inevitable 
in any group.  But we see our work as creating opportunities for DWS 
more than commoditizing the value of their offerings.  Instead this work 
is done with the sincere belief that a larger community benefits all.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
