Hi, I understand your points, and seems very logical. I only want to
express this thoughts I was having and my fear that this project would end
having many new disconnected things that finaly ends with it in the future,
and see others opinion. Taking things like "one-man-effort" seems to be the
natural way, since only traction of that one effort could make people to
join that particular cause.
