Currently, we're working on a couple significant integration projects and I'll discuss with folks at the foundation on what we can contribute to the cause. Let us know what you need in terms of support for this open-source movement to take off - we're 100% behind it and we would welcome further community building amongst the world wide foundations that are interested in doing development in a significant way. At SickKids, we have at least 3-5 significant RE API projects scheduled for this year, so we will definately participate and work with you to thought lead and help others as much as we can. Let us know what we can do help... Chris Shaun:

They work exclusively for Microsoft on VBA, VSIP and VSTA. It is not possible to "use Summit" when you license VBA. You go through Summit and then sign with the contract with MS. The great news is with VSTA Microsoft is getting much more reasonable about the licesning terms so who knows, the story may be even better for our Infinity-based applications... The guys at Summit were awesome to work with BTW. Shaun Charlie,

Besides, you folks are so flush with cash...it should just be free. why not use summit? same APIs, lower licensing costs. Besides, you folks are so flush with cash…it should just be free.

Blackbaud licenses the embedded VBA programming from Microsoft for a fairly hefty fee, hence the reason we charge for it. No, Plugins do not use VBA functionality at all.

If you don't need the API license to create plugins why is the RE:VBA optional module, which sounds like what you're using, something you have to pay for?
