<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:windowtext">Agree wholeheartedly, but this is a recurring question coming up from anyone interested in trying out (any) Open Source software. It’s also (in my opinion) a big
piece of the Software sales task. Are those lines in the overviews describing support coming from the support registry? I know the stuff for GeoMoose was handwritten (by me) for example, but that’s only pointing at the stuff our community knows about, shouldn’t
a piece of this be brought in from the support registry as well and printed out directly in the overview as a build process?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:windowtext">Putting out one or two pagers for each software package with some sort of Support pointer is pretty much a necessity. I’m trying to explore a method where the information
can be maintained in one location while still enabling the semi-update printing mechanism. I assume for example that I could write something against this lookup service:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Is there a method to pull from this database a XML feed possibly, for syncing purposes?? I bet some of the registrants might not want this though, but who knows.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

provide (that’s where the information was collected after all). Either way, I wouldn’t be interested in attempting anything in a vacuum unless it’s a sanctioned process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I believe we have support questions covered as each Project Overview has a line describing support options for that package.<br>
I wouldn't want to replicate this information as it would become a maintenance problem to keep the information maintained in 2 locations.<br>
