I didn't see it! Maybe this icon should be put upper on the page?


Back to giving a little bit of money. I truly believe there is room for
money in the open source world. Video-conferencing is one of the few
applications I would pay for. But money doesn't have to come from the
users directly. It can come from the distributions.

Look at Linspire sponsoring Daniel Glazman's work on nvu. Maybe would
another distribution do something similar for GM?

To me video-conferencing has a higher potential than web authoring. So
it sounds logical...

Anyway. Thanks for the work so far.
