Sorry for this long silence. To much things to do...

To my knowledge, being not the owner of the current DNS record, it won't
be feasible until it expires (i.e. on the 17th of january 2002). For the
moment, only Emmanuel can set up a secondary DNS entry. And even if he
was willing to do so, I could not give him any IP address since I own no
server on the Internet for now.
Anyway, if some day all the conditions are met - using GGI in my
projects and owning a DNS server - that will be with great pleasure.

Don't worry, I owe so much to open source softwares that I can't imagine
not giving something back somehow :-) But that's not the right moment.
One of my aims is to go on working with OSS as much as I can. Actually,
I plan to use exclusively them as a base for my embedded systems.
Needless to say that if I were to use GGI, or any other OSS, I would
contribute to its development. OK, that's not exactly what you're
suggesting but to my opinion that's a fair beginning.
