	***Bang: The problem with CRM is that it is a capitalist paradigm solution to selling people junk they don't want or need... hence no open source solution. Another major driving force behind CRM has been making money off corporations through big software implementations.

Host the formats in a repository like git, cvs, svn, etc and let people fork it from there.		***Bang: The problem with CRM is that it is a capitalist paradigm solution to selling people junk they don't want or need... hence no open source solution.

	** I have made metal from ore and tell people that I can make almost anything that was made before 1900. All that said , there is one rule of thumb I use describing progress in tech. No matter how much time a piece of new tech seams to save , you pay for it with larger infrastructure needed to support it , total number of people goes up , need for connection and transport goes up. You are stuck in that same problem. I tried once to estimate the minimum number of people it would take to have a modern tech world and stopped at 40 million people ,without covering all bases.		** I have made metal from ore and tell people that I can make almost anything that was made before 1900.

			*** This doesn't require an academician or an analysis. Simply look at what materials you use(bill of materials) and see what it takes for that part to come about. If you need moon rocks, then yeah it takes 40 million people to put up a rocket in space. If you need steel, yeah it takes a bunch of smelting but not 40 million people, maybe 2 or 3.
