Agree, open source software, avoid vendor lock-in and stagnation

I agree with A Leroux's comments.
In addition, the new pay system needs to be periodically updated. A common expectation of big systems like the current leave system (MyGCHR), the HRG travel system, Phoenix, SSC GCDocs, or other major systems, is that they have notoriously terrible user interfaces and online help, that never seem to improve. Compare that with the open source systems in the GoC, that are regularly updated, and have refreshingly clear user interfaces. With open source, the code can and does evolve. Let users have a mechanism (feature voting?) to address and fix problems. Compare this to GCHR where even the simplest tool tips for what key leave fields mean appears to be beyond reach.
