Can you not be satisfied with what the system does straight from OpenSRS
without having to modify and tweak?
Is there a need to rewrite the code beyond what is feasible and not cost
effective? If you rewrite all the code in any programming language, this
need to do so does not justify the end. Now being one sided I would not pay
a programmer to take two months to rewrite the code, as it simply is not
cost effective and is unnecessary.
