[hpsdr] Hermes Project Badly Handled

[Joe Martin K5SO]

Terry, 

If you post your message on the public reflector then the "public" has every right to respond to you if they desire.  If you only wanted the three people you listed to respond you should've sent the message only to them!

I personally do not agree with your narrow view that the project has been badly handled.  My personal opinion of the project is quite the contrary in fact.  Yes, the project wasn't perfect and documentation problems persist but given the complexity of the tasks the end result overall is amazing in my opinion.  

If you are contributing a cleanup of the documentation to the project, that's great news!  I'm sure everyone will be very pleased.  Otherwise, you come off appearing as a whiner, not as a helper.  Anyone can be a whiner if they choose to be.  That's simple to do.  I can only hope that the true intention of your posting was to help the situation, not to bash the admitedly less-than-perfect, but nevertheless good, work that was done and continues to be done on the Hermes project.

73,  Joe K5SO

Like there are few components which is there in the Hermes component loaded Board presented in the site, those components are also present in the Bare pcb but unfortunately, there is no information in the BOM - bit crazy. This shouldn't have never happened if Schematics could have considered the base-point or reference point. This kind of release will jeopardize the tempo of all user in HPSDR group who would like to build  his own device a bit discouraging factor.
