My simple idea was to for an individual or company to solicit specific things they want, like a meta package for secure E-commerce. I'd 'Poney' up the funds and the greater community benefits. No takers. I'd throw a few thousand dollars at such a venture. I'm sure other would donate to. Anyone interested? (serious doubts among the dev ranks)..... Gentoo is a 'boys club' and any mention of using it formally to make money (for the greater gentoo community) sends the squirrels with their "nuts" running for cover. -- jaded after a few years, James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
