For example, it could be an Apache project, to maintain and further develop the software? I think increasing the base of people who can support MirrorBrain is critical if we are to rely on it. This would be true of any critical piece of project software, web servers, version control, wiki, bug trackers, etc. We want to use quality software, but we also need to avoid single points of failure. A system that is reliant on a single person's effort, no matter how technically elegant it may be, is risky. > I'm in contact with Henk; he's got all the details. > > Peter >
