I think the active role we can all particpate in is coming up with a concrete list of changes that we'd like to see. I'm not saying this is an easy task, but is the necessary first step in the process. We need focus. > My question is aimed at finding out who would have the resources and > motivation to subsidize developers? How about bootstrapping a small non-profit organization (ala Mozilla Foundation) that could collect funds to support further development? Could this work? I think finding a single large benefactor like AOL will be tough, but if we can pool together a bunch of small contributions, that might help grease the wheels enough to get more attention (and more funding). -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://dossy.org/ Panoptic Computer Network | http://panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
