Hi,
Wouldn't it be a good idea to focus on one standard for Debian-lex?
[..]
computers is top priority for the today's computerized lawyers. How do
programmers think about python as standard language for Debian-lex?
ahem... it's not actually a good idea [now, in the past, and in ANY
possible future], at least IMHO
it's a simple FACT that at LEAST here in Italy, we will not start over
to rewrite hundreds of line of code, working with specific italian court's
telematic services [part of 'em comes from our government, they wrote
'em with java, and toos ME nearly 2 YEARS to have them to publish
the applications code].
As i could remember Republic of Bulgaria or Romania has too a
spefic set of rules, really hard to implement into a law office application,
so thinking to rewrite something to use one stupid language or another
is not worth even an evaluation. [a new language and/or scripting
language born every 6 months.....]
Developing an application requires time, much time and as much
knownledge. I do not even know what Romania's lawyers needs are,
as (i think) you do know what are the Italian's.
It's supposed that a distro specific to lawyers, focus to gather
applications already existing, such the one about copyrights
management (on sourceforge), the other about specific countries,
the ones about agenda managment etc, etc. Some of them
are focused on private Law Offices, some of them are focues
on public Law Offices, etc. Each one works on a specific field.
The idea about the distro is to have them available on the distro,
not to choose a language to write appication for the distro.....
Asking to choose a language is like to ask what color should
have the roof of our home even before he have an home.
