It's unfair to say that we won't pay for somebody to maintain this.
Money is not the issue. We've said this numerous times. It's opportunity
cost. We've never been able to get projects* running well. It's super
painful for me each time I see a community member complaining about how
busted projects* is. I would rather have Openmoko not do something than
do it poorly.
If somebody wants to step up and own this responsibility -- you bet --
we'll pay the bill.
Any takers?
