The POI acronym...
Hi,
I'm very impressed with this project, and I think it's been a long
time coming. Poo poo Microsoft, and your closed book on open source!
Bravo Andy, Marc, Glen, Nick, and fellow meritocricians for these
gracious donations to the hungry minds of the many creative solution
providers of the world.
I am amused, however, by the missing project name definition (i.e.,
it's an acronym without mention). It's easy enough to search the
web and find a logical match - guessing "Point of Interface".
Unfortunately, not mentioning it is an exercise in torture to the
typical ADHD inflicted user. Please correct this omission, or kindly
direct to the place which I obviously am unable to locate. `;-)
-David
p.s. Please don't RTFM - I've already done quite a bit of homework.
