.... yep :) the good news is, the dev-process issues are resolved, production just rolls off the assembly line.
Great!

btw, i meant to ask you, paul: would you like to be the person that applies for the NLnet Grant? (and then subsequently acts as the coordinator)?
I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing so, not least because I don't think I have the skill set for managing something like this, and I also don't have the kind of background for working with grants, applications and the accompanying paperwork. I have worked with people who have been involved with such things in academia, and my impression is that experience with these processes counts for a lot.
not in this case: the application was only rejected because the NLnet Foundation needed to tick a single box, "you're one person applying for 2 projects, and we have a 1st-project-1st-application limit of EUR $50k. is there a 2nd person, living in the EU, who could be the front-man, for... um.... EU-bureaucracy-satisfying-political-reasons, kinda thing?"
Maybe there are people you know with more experience with such matters, also with project management experience in the hardware domain, who might be worth approaching. I also imagine that you would really want someone closer to the action than people like me watching the action from several time zones away.
mmm... again.... no, not really :) and it's more that you're an advocate for success, and your reputation in the software libre world, that matters more.
