What about industrial, or telecom standards <oops>. ;-)

My limited experience when there: not enough of a time horizon,
and no real iteration (maybe to to time horizon, maybe not).

I couldn't do much 'cause of poor health, which causes poverty.
All the time in the world, for the most part, but I'd have to
spend lots of money I don't have to help... Any limitations I
had with linux, due to small disk/memory or whatever, and the
"solution" is always by more/better stuff to work 'round it.

There were others that could have done more. It takes some
planning infrastructure, mostly in communications methods.
The "answer" to that was I should spend a bunch of time and
effort configuring work-arounds on my end - for solving
problems I don't have? I just went back to doing my own
research, mostly hardware stuff.

Yes there are the people, knowledge, and skills.
If only process mattered - just like the commercial world.
Hence my joke/quip above... :-(
