- Or is writing academic software like *binding* a textbook? And we
- wouldn't get credit for that would we? (Or suppose my hobby is
- bricklaying and I help build the new chemistry classrooms...&c. &c.)
-
- Absurd comparisons I'm sure. But does anyone know of any really good
- good analyses of these things?
-
- I do, however, think that the burden of proof is squarely on the
- shoulders of those who believe that "writing academic software"
- *should* count towards p&t. I suspect that, to some extent
- anyway, it probably should. But why does everyone seem to
- take it for granted?
