Heya, is the [email protected] email working? I got a bounce from you
dave. Is gnome foundation going to hold funds again? Should I talk
with stormy about this or can you do?

Also, should we setup our own [email protected] email to
handle emails?

Yes, good idea on the pitch...I think the website can suffice for
seeking funding, then can make a 1 page pdf or something printable....

thx
Jon
