Bug#541239: ITP: GT.M -- Database Engine with Extreme Scalability and Robustness
Hi,
thanks for the ITP. It is really a long time ago that my RFP
(http://bugs.debian.org/175968) was closed without any action.
I have a single comment: The short description has an advertisement
style and should be more informative like
Database Engine optimised for medical care applications
if this is correct or something like this. The features
"Extreme Scalability and Robustness" do not really help any
user who has no idea about GT.M.
Kind regards
Andreas.
