The contents of the DCGS-A page were merged into Distributed Common Ground System. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. (22 November 2013) |
Suggest that the article using an acronym DCGS-A be merged with this one. I know that one only talks about the Army's version, but it seems a unified article on all the forces variants would be a good start, and the various ones could then be spun back off when they are independently notable enough to withstand a notability challenge. Also calling it a "weapons system" is misleading. As far as I can tell, digging through all the acronyms and buzzwords, it is computer software. Just perhaps as expensive (and could argue as useful?) as traditional "weapons systems", but not a missile or a gun. Now I suppose if one of those computers running the software falls on you, it might hurt, but we should try to be honest and say what it really is. W Nowicki ( talk) 21:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
The last portion of the article says "A portion of the software, a distributed data framework for the DCGS integration backbone (DIB) version 4, was submitted to an open-source software repository of the Codice Foundation on github.[22][23] The framework was new for DIB version 4, replacing an Ozone Widget Framework.[24] It was written in the Java programming language.[25]" The distributed data framework isn't "a", that is "the" Distributed Data Framework (a technology) so should be capitalized and can have the acronym DDF. Additionaly is doesn't replace the Ozone Widget Framework, it replaces a legacy portal WITH the Ozone Widget Framework. Please see http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a556470.pdf on page 3 bullet #5 which reads. "Replaces the legacy DIB portal with an Ozone Widget Framework (OWF) interface to leverage on-going community investment in widget development." 128.237.28.16 ( talk) 17:47, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
