see communication • (ECMWF as moderator for between meetings communication) • ?
why is it difficult to cooperate? • cooperation on little scale possible • in between: difficult • risk of cutting resources • reliability on SW developed in other service without contract basis? • other extreme: official internationl cooperation (contract based) • at that stage the project/coop is safe • technical problems (formats,standards)
communication • not much communication between the conferences
not much communication between the conferences • sometimes you ask by email and get answers (like Marie did for XMLobjects) • communication between the conferences • would need a moderator • ECMWF ? • needs resources for this • more meetings? • Internet communication to improve?
language • English might be a problem • people can improve
resources • you need more resources (critical mass) for starting a cooperation • but: later you will save resources • AND: you will get the much better product by using the ideas of all participants of a cooperation
Does it make sense to have only 1 system? • maybe not • failover? • in case one system fails, they could go NinJo or somewhere else • need some concurrency to improve systems • more creative • open mind for world wide thinking
develop open libraries (DB/..) • share maintenance • can you rely on a tool/db on voluntary base • need to rely on maintenance • need contracts or something • on own risc • formal cooperation • needs more
