Stefano De Panfilis added a comment - 20/May/15 4:25 PM dear franck, thank you very much for providing so detailed answers. i'd like to add a small detail here. if a user is really highly interested on a specific generic enabler that for some reasons is not any longer in the catalogue, we can make him/her directly in contact with the generic enabler owner to understand if there are possible solutions. this will be a bi-lateral talk which may or may not involve fiware at pure discretion of the parties (user ge owner). of course if it happens that a removed ge becomes so relevant it migth be reintroduced in the catalogue if there are candidates (the former ge owner or others) for maintaining and evolving it according to fiware standards. ciao, stefano 2015-05-20 14:59 GMT+02:00 Franck Le Gall <franck.le-gall@eglobalmark.com>: > Responses are in-line > > ----------- > > Dear Franck, > > I have several questions about FIWARE and its platform.
