Re: New project info
First, as far as I can tell, the Case Reporter project will not overlap
with the Mozart project. Mozart seems to provide a generic "case"
management system, but does not seem to provide a legal case management
system. In regard to Etude, I have not been able to examine it because it
is in French. (Language options do not work in the version I downloaded.)
>From what I have been able to get out of it, the projects do overlap
slightly.
Second, in regard to collaboration, I would be willing to collaborate with
other PHP legal software projects; however, I must note that the services
provided by Etude and Mozart have already been developed in the Case
Reporter project. Nevertheless, I would be willing to collaborate wit the
other programs, but I am not sure what amalgamating the programs would
entail.
Third, in regard to consolidation of legal programs, I agree 100%. My
preliminary ideas on this would be to have a basic framework or engine from
which all other php projects could be developed/integrated into would
appear to be the best way to go. Many of the features do not need to be
replicated over and over, such as user authentication. However, I am
merely speculating on how to develop such community support.
Fourth, in regard to my commitment to the program, I am a 22 year old law
student. I plan on opening my own law firm in the next few years. So, one
of my primary motivations is to develop and continue to develop a program
that assists me run a law firm. Thus, my commitment to the project will
not fade.
Fifth, in regard to programs to which Case Reporter may be functionally
likened to Prolaw, but in PHP obviously.
