OpenGotha

OpenGotha is now under development. 2007, 2nd quarter is a possible date for first version.
Very new features will be included :
- Multi-platform : Windows but also Linux and other systems.
- Multi-Workstations : Several persons will be able to work simultaneously. This will be useful for big events like European Congress. Registering will thus be faster.
- Open Database : Datas will be shared with other applications.
