Yes, we also think that the three donators (Wyona AG, University of Zurich,
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) were very important and that
their donations will pay off quickly and even more in the long term.

I also think doing it the open source is way more tougher, but also much
more rewarding. And we meet great people along the way - Michi, David, Ian,
Sandro, Stephan, Brian, Holger, Roger, Wolfgang, Reinhard, Jann, Thomas...
the flowers are for you:)

Last but not least, I wanted to tell you that we just opened a "small"
contest, which could interest you as well:
