[P2P-F] P2P charity

[Michel Bauwens]

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
