Hello Coolman, I am not commiting to Care2x but updating my system and have done it using mobile connection here in Tanzania, which is not fast (usually EDGE speed is connected) and it works. I update using CVS from Robert's server in Germany and subversion from our own local server. I have not tested subversion with sourceforce but all data is text format and should work in quit slow lines.
Thank you for your idea of donating. If we establish a channel for donations then it must be 100% transparent, money brings easily problems also in open source project. Also we should have a good idea how to use it in a way that everybody feels it promotes Care2x. Good ideas??
