[P2P-F] P2P charity

Thu Apr 7 16:28:21 CEST 2011

Hi Bobby,

we can help spread the word, finding contacts, who may eventually turn into
partners, etc..

but we don't have an army of developers to help you, nor capital resources,
it's just a collective of people, many of them already active in their own
projects,

Michel
