 +     There is so far no formal consortium, but
 +      institutions belonging to the network have aggreed on a distribution of tasks to maintain and update the system. Many researches have over the years
 +      contributed to CAPRI, as can be seen from the <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:capri_pub">publications</A>. This page lists only some of the network members currently working
 +      regularly with the system. Researchers and institutions are welcome to join the network.</P>
 +      <!--P>The CAPRI network is also linked to the <A HREF="http://www.seamlessassociation.org/">SEAMLESS association</A>
 +      and the <A HREF="http://www.agp.uni-bonn.de/agpo/rsrch/liaise/liaise_e.htm">FP VII Network of excellence LIAISE (Linking Impact Assessment Instruments to Sustainability Expertise)</A>, as well
 +      as to the teams involved in the <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:projects">projects applying and developping CAPRI</A>.
 +      CAPRI is also part of the "Integrated Modelling Platform" at <A HREF=http://agrilife.jrc.ec.europa.eu/>JRC-IPTS, AGRILIFE unit</A>.</P-->

 +      <!--H3>Working as a distributed team</H3>
 +
 +
 +      <P>Technically, a <A HREF=http://subversion.tigris.org/>SVN</A>-Server hosted by <A HREF="http://www.ilr.uni-bonn.de/agpo/agpo_e.htm">ILR</A> allows the team members to work
 +      efficiently in a distributed network. The GAMS code of CAPRI, the JAVA code of its <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:gui:gui">Graphical User Interface</A>, but also the data base and statistical raw data are under version control. That allows
 +      controling changes to the different components, and an incremental improvement of the system. It also ensures that code changes of network members are not lost, and that
 +      local installations are synchronised with the core version. The team communicates mostly via the <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:capri_talks">CAPRI mailing list</A>.
 +      <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:ts">Training sessions</A> allow newcomers to join the network, and existing member to update their knowledge
 +      about the system.</P>
 +      <H3>Open source, learning and maintenance cost</H3>
 +      <P>CAPRI is handled as open source. However, it is well known that license costs are often only a small part of the total costs of ownership of a software package.
 +      Due to its richness in detail, the code base of CAPRI is rather large, and it requires a serious effort to learn using the system.
 +       The <a href="../docs/capri_documentation.pdf">documentation</A>, <A HREF="../docs/Gui2013.pdf">the user hand-book for the GUI</A>, the web-page and
 +      different types of <A HREF=/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:capri_pub>publications</A>, <A HREF=/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:ts>training sessions</A>, <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:trainingPPTs">slide collections</A> and technical tools support the learning process.
 +      Nevertheless, the market entrance costs are considerable,
 +      and newcomers may require a few months before they are familiar enough with the system to generate and analyze results on their own.</P>
 +      <P>Part of higher learning costs compared e.g. to a farm type model or a stand-alone Multi-Commodity Model are also due to combination of the
 +      <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:concept:supply">supply</A> and <A HREF="/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=capri:concept:market">market</A> modules with their own methodologies as well as the high resolution space, products/activities and policy instruments.
 +      Compared to CGE, the simultaneous accounting in physical as well as monetary units and bio-physical relations/indicators add complexity. But it is the richness in detail
 +      and the unique combination of a spatial global market model with regional/farm type programming models for Europe which explain the comparative advantage of CAPRI.</P>
 +      <P>It is in part a deliberate decision to refrain from a "push the button" approach to model usage which may trigger naive applications and signal simplicity where
 +      it does not exist. The learning time is usually well invested for the newcomer and the CAPRI network: it ensures a minimum commitment of newcomers and a certain quality of the results,
 +      as content and concept of components and their linkages must be understood before any serious application. And it also helps to keep the network at a manageable size.</P>
