Speak up. I do give to the project via Paypal whenever there is a request and an offered link. Probably not enough, but nothing is. Your idea is a good one. It can help solve the hardware. But it doesn't solve the US weather. The website could do with being somewhere more reliable. I was on a severely delayed train recently with a chap who lives in Silicone Valley but has previously lived outside the USA. We chatted. He said that the reliability of his access to the Internet would make those of us who complain here weep. He said that near Google isn't bad because they see to it, but even there it isn't great. If this is to be genuinely world-wide it needs to be reliable. Like Sl�vek's. Perhaps we need to get it hosted in Norway or South Korea!
