Hi Louiqa ... thanks for reality check i have no intention whatsoever of forcing more abstraction onto this community than necessary Just two cents to bear in...
Paola - Thanks for the reply. I agree with you that I think Sahana is, and should be, more than software. No endeavor is ever accomplished by things, but by...
Makes sense to me James I guess by your transversal exploration you are identifying some context based functional design - at least thats what I see Maybe fore...
