[e2e] the evolution of deployability

[Roop Mukherjee]

I have been asking myself that for a while.

Not to answer for anyone, but in my opinion, people should to be looking 
inward, thinking smaller and creating their own networks, enhancements 
etc. Is there much more individuals or small groups can do? Some time in 
the future when the need comes someone (like a freeware writer or a 
commercial entity) will pick up what they have done and hopefully credit 
them for it. If they are unlucky, someone will market the concept with 
some other name and make lots of money. If you are more than a small 
group and have the right backing you out build a product out of it and 
market it yourself, then maybe standardize it.
