I can understand it perfectly. I had to learn it too.

It is the first time I ever read of someone searching for the right moment to get involved in netsukuku. Shouldn't you (how many you are?) have talked earlier? Just to let me know... A lot of mails from me in the ml were asking for suggestions on topics not strictly related to python code, for example. Fundraising for a meeting?

Firstly, we (but we who?) have to make a roadmap. From the roadmap it has to clearly appear that we could benefit from having a certain number of developers working in parallel in different part of the project for a certain amount of time. Only then it could make sense to look for a fundraising. I do not think that shooting 20K before-hand would make any difference. _______________________________________________ Netsukuku mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dyne.org/mailman/listinfo/netsukuku
