Hi Mike, Apologies for the delay...this is a topic we have been wrestling with for quite some time and still do not have an answer. We are exploring a couple of options: 1) Facilitating a commercial IDD for folks like yourself. 2) Creating a commercial IDD and allowing feeds for a nominal fee to cover costs and provide support. ..as you mentioned below...lawyers...they tend to drag things out. Unidata would like to serve everyone all the time, but we are a small shop and that activity does not scale well for us..and that is not our charter from the National Science Foundation. :) We have not dropped the ball, it is just a new process for us. Thank you for your patience. > Thanks for the reply, Jeff. I'll appreciate any guidance or help you can > give us.
