Hi :) Companies don't usually spring fully armed like Athena from the head of Zeus.
Usually these things have to grow and it takes time to get officially and legally registered. It helps if the company can show that it is already running like a company in order to show that it has a track record and knows how to manage itself. TDF founders and all the rest of you did a brilliant job. The finances were being held by one or 2 community groups that were legal entities and did have secured and accountable bank accounts and a good long track record of appropriate financial reporting and structured so that it was independent of OOo/LO. Mostly it was the German Community organisation. Funds are likely to be transferred to proper TDF-owned bank accounts very soon. So, everything was safe and "all in the plan" as they say. Often these things drag on for years and one excuse after another, such as "operational efficiency" prevent the formation so TDF may have set a record for soemthing of this size.
