"From what I understand"
"I believe"
"I don't think"

Since we haven't heard from software writers, it is probably premature to
assume that LoTW is not "designed properly" and that there are any "on-going
issues and problems".

"Writing software is not easy", but from my experience with LoTW so far it
seems to have achieved its intended goal of providing an inexpensive way to
confirm QSOs.  The only thing missing is for people to upload their files.
Whether or not that happens and LoTW is a success will not be the fault of
those who have tried to provide the tool, but rather the lack of enough
interest to get those files uploaded.  And it isn't that difficult.

So why don't we see W4JVN there yet? :-)

 From what I understand, the ARRL did not care to listen to software
designers(such as Paul) or share much info on LOTW design. Therefore-
any problems are rooted in the initial creation of the ARRL vehicle.
The League went Lone Ranger on it and they got what they got. I believe
that any on-going issues and problems could have been avoided if
designed properly and they listened to the software guys. But I don't
think they did that.
    Given the above- I am sure Paul will do the best he can with what
there is to work with. Writing software is not easy. CQWW starts
tomorrow, have fun filling up your logbook and good dx.
