As Nicolas did I would question the business opportunity too, but I really dont know. My question is, didnt you already have a service like this and merge it with cvsdude? I am probably not understanding more nuanced differences and I realize that what you were doing before was just CVS/SVN, but it was really the same market I think. Do you now think the opportunity is bigger than the first time when you addressed this market?
