Hello Sam, since I can guess that you are busy a lot I am thankful for your reply. You answered all the questions that I have for now. I am glad that the project is still vital. I am sure that I will be able to figure out solutions for the technical problems - maybe with the help of others. I will also check out the Libre Planet and related projects to get in touch with people. Thanks again for your mail! Greetings, Patrick.
