Courier mail is far far slower than email or telegrams (for long distance, at least). I've just watched the first 20 minutes of the presentation and there doesn't seem to be anything new, it's just combining existing stuff in a fancy way. It's a great app, and I may well use it, but it isn't going to change the world. It's part of an incremental progression, it's not a paradigm shift. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
