Re: pwgl-users: XML import/export

Dear all,

I know, we discussed this topic a while ago and the developers launched a call for financial participation

to get this feature incorporated into PWGL.

This time I'm writing to you as a user, who would love to see such an import/export function incorporated.

I hope we can brain-storm among the PWGL community and together with the developers to figure out

a possible scenario.

Knowing many PWGL users and observing how they embed the program into their normal work environment with

notation software, it seems to me that an XML import/export function would be most useful to ALL OF US.

I was very disappointed to understand that finally too few users were willing/able to contribute to such

a development and I also understand that some users are against paid software altogether.

The free software community relies on funding from universities and research centers.

Unfortunately the PWGL team is currently getting less and less money from those sources. 

I don´t think that there will be any money in the near future to get the XML function done.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO????

Has anybody a good idea of a scenario?

Should we launch the call for financial contribution again to collect the total of 1000 Euro?

Would more users be willing to contribute this time? (the first call got only something like 350 Euro).

Any ideas are welcome.

thanks, Hans
